#BPS2026 T&C subgroup award nominations are closing soon! please submit !!
@BiophysicalSoc T&C Subgroup, nominations due in a few weeks! Let's celebrate the contributions that are shaping our field 🎉🧬💻🔬
Check out our latest preprint for the first community #cryoEM heterogeneity challenge 🎆🎇 @sonyahans @miroastore + method developers and participants!
That's a wrap! The results of the first #cryoEM heterogeneity challenge are up on biorxiv! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Check out our recent preprint 👇on counting particles to estimate populations in #cryoem: noise can bias the estimates; with @lukeevanshandle & a great team. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
#APSSummit25 come to our session in generative modeling and machine learning in chem phys! Chaired with @GrantRotskoff and an amazing set of speakers 🎉 starting Thursday 11:30am room 204A
We are hiring a Flatiron Research Fellow in the Structural Molecular Biophysics team! Experience with cryoEM and/or membrane protein simulations are a plus! Happy to chat in person with anyone at #bps2025 ! apply.interfolio.com/160227
Excited for #bps2025! Check out what SMBp has been up to at these talks and posters! (Also follow me at the other place.) @miroastore @samsledzieski @a_anand_ojha
1/ Thrilled to announce Dr. Elizabeth Wright from @UWBiochem as the inaugural winner of the June Almeida Award for #cryoem! 🎉Elizabeth’s pioneering work in both cryo-ET methods and structural virology made her a perfect fit for this award. Congrats, @erwright73! ❄️🔬
#NeurIPS2024 check out our work: Cryo-EM images are intrinsically low dimensional at the MLSB workshop with @lukeevanshandle Octavian-Vlad Murad @DingeldeinLars @CovinoLab & Marina Meila mlsb.io/papers_2024/Cr…
Cryo-EM @BiophysicalSoc please make your nominations for the Cryo-EM subgroup; the deadline is coming soon:
Hello @BiophysicalSoc Cryo-EM Subgroup Members, As we approach the 2025 Biophysical Society Annual Meeting in Los Angeles, we need nominations for 5 Cryo-EM Subgroup leadership positions. This is a great chance to become more involved with the Society and to support the Cryo-EM…
CryoEM community: we encourage you to submit applications to the Almeida Award #cryoEM BPS subgroup:
Mark your calendars for the BPS CryoEM Subgroup Symposium, on Subgroup Saturday at @BiophysicalSoc Annual Meeting 2025! Also, we have a new award, the Almeida Award, for a mid/senior level woman who has made outstanding contributions to #cryoem. See you there!
** Job Alert**: Are you looking for a postdoc in computational physics (including statistical mechanics, biophysics, fluid mechanics, quantum physics, and molecular dynamics), apply to CCM at the Flatiron Institute apply.interfolio.com/155357
Excited to share the first project from my postdoc. We studied a ligand bound TRPV1 cryo-EM dataset with state of the art heterotgeneity methods, and developed a way to compare them with a technique we call CryoSVD. paper doi.org/10.1101/2024.1… CryoSVD github.com/flatironinstit…
Dear cryo-EM women scientists, We want to honor you and your contributions at BPS 2025. This year, the Cryo-EM subgroup will honor a mid/senior-career woman scientist as the inaugural June Almeida awardee. June Almeida is the virologist who first discovered the coronavirus in…

I'm very happy to be part of this amazing collaboration: Dynamic allostery drives TGF-β signaling. Congratulations: MJ, @PhuKhanhTang Steve Nishimura @yifan_ucsf + co-authors 🎉🎉🎉
Dynamic allostery drives autocrine and paracrine TGF-β signaling: Cell cell.com/cell/fulltext/… A new dynamic allostery model of avb8 mediated TGF-b activation, result of a 10+ year collaboration with Steve Nishimura lab at UCSF. Congratulation to MJ, Rob and all co-authors!
Cryo-EM heterogeneity analysis needs benchmarks and validation tools. We're very happy to share CryoBench 🧊🪑: cryobench.cs.princeton.edu lead by the amazing EZ team @MinkyuJeon19791 @ZhongingAlong with FI @miroastore geoff woollard @sonyahans
🚀 Excited to share our preprint: CryoBench 🧊🪑: Diverse & Challenging Datasets for the Heterogeneity Problem in Cryo-EM! 🌐cryobench.cs.princeton.edu 🙌 Huge thanks to my amazing co-authors, collaborators, & advisor @zhongingalong! 🎉 #cryoEM #MachineLearning 🧵 Details below!
Was great to continue our SMBp tradition last night of supporting the Staten Island @FerryHawks! This year we brought along Niko Grigorieff for his first ever baseball game!
Check out our cryo-EM simulation-based inference work for amortized template matching: train with simulations, test with experimental images! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… with an amazing team @DingeldeinLars DavidSilva @lukeevanshandle @EdoardoDImprima @GrigorieffLab @CovinoLab 🎉🎉
