How does nano-scale plasma membrane structure underpin tissue development? Let’s find out! First opportunity to do a PhD with me, co-supervised by Darius Koester, at Warwick Fully funded studentship by #MIBTP and University of Warwick More info here: findaphd.com/phds/project/p…
Will be epic! Registration open!
📢Registration is open for the Biomembrane Days 2025! 🔗biomembrane-days-2025.mpikg.mpg.de A top-notch lineup of speakers, 120 posters, 200 scientists 📜Submit an abstract by July 14 🏆3 Poster prizes ⚠️Limited spots - previous events were fully booked! #BiomembraneDays2025 #CellMembranes
🔥🔬"Measuring plasma membrane fluidity using confocal microscopy" in @NatureProtocols🔬🔥 doi.org/10.1038/s41596… Thanks to the authors for the detailed protocol! @carravilla_p @SuperSphingoJan @EllenSjule @f_ragaller @BioSciFlo @CenkGurdap @SychTaras @Sciezgin
I am thrilled that our work on MemGraft probes for “permanent” fluorescent labelling of plasma membranes is out in @JACS_Au! We established a concept of lipid-directed covalent labeling of plasma membranes. Open access: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja… MemGraft probes allow cell fixation,…
New paper out💥 in @NanoLetters High throughput single particle profiler with simple confocal imaging. We used this new method to study protein-lipid interactions, drug membrane interactions and biophysics of nanoscale particles from human donors: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
New PI born 🎁 In case you're one of the few who doesn't know @carravilla_p, he is starting his lab in Bilbao! Having Pablo in the lab as a postdoc was a true privilege! Vividly remembering the first time we discussed this (Fig1a) and today when he is ready to be a leader (Fig1b)


Excited to be giving a talk tomorrow at Karolinska. If anyone is in the area, do come check it out! news.ki.se/calendar/semin…
Postdoc Positions in Molecular Neuroscience/Biochemistry in Berlin to study presynapse formation and ALS funded by ERC and DFG (leibniz-fmp.de/haucke; Rizalar et al (2023) Science). Apply now at short.sg/j/52345086 of e-mail to [email protected] before 1 April 2025.
Thanks @EMBO @EMBO_YIP for the support. It is a true pleasure to be part of this community..

Thank you to Erdinc Sezgin @Sciezgin for sharing his experience of fee-free #OA publishing @J_Cell_Sci via our #ReadAndPublishagreement with @karolinskainst @kibiblioteket Read Erdinc’s paper bit.ly/3OslNyZ Is your institution participating? bit.ly/3O7BxGi
We have an open research assistant position in host-pathogen interactions. Are you interested in synthetic biology, membranes and microorganisms, please apply! ki.varbi.com/what:job/jobID…
I'll talk about the mechanisms of selective lipid transport. There will also be two unpublished goodies: Lipid superresolution imaging (collaboration with @Honigmann_Lab) and Lipid CLEM (collaboration with @Avinoam_lab). Looking forward to seeing you all!
Reminder! Our next webinars are tomorrow! Don't miss out on talks by @nadlerlab & Christoph Arenz on lipid imaging and cellular assay development. Register at sphingolipidbiology.com/registrations Plus, exclusive info on our Junior Scientist Contest! #SLBiol #LipidTalksReminder!
.@BioSciFLo, @Sciezgin, @luca_andronico and colleagues @karolinskainst @scilifelab present VISION, an open-source software for automated multi-dimensional image analysis of cellular biophysics. #OpenAccess #ReadandPublish #JCSImagingSI journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/13…
New PI born! Great times ahead @faldalf ! Very excited to see you in such a great place with such fantastic colleagues.. it is going to be a fun journey ;)

BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Physics to John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton “for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks.”
Now time for @Sciezgin on Understanding cell-cell interactions using advanced imaging, synthetic biology and chemical biology tools
What a start with the one and only @JungmannLab !!
Start of the workshop "High Resolution 3D Microscopy in Biology: Development & Applications", co-organized by @GDR_ImaBio @Fr_BioImaging, happy to welcome @JungmannLab @Sciezgin Sophie Brasselet @Gaelle_Recher @LydiaDanglot @wsupatto, and to host the event at @ISMOlab_Orsay
