Please register to get an update on cellular imaging by light and electron microscopy. And of course, to meet friends and make new friends 🤩 #microscopy #cellbiology
The GBM Compact conference „Focus on Imaging“ takes place from September 26-27 in Frankfurt! Early registration+abstract submisison is possible until June 30. Please visit the conference website for registration and further information: gbm-compact.org
And here goes our brand new flyer #postdocjobs. Please RT!
Structural biologists- join us to work on the mechanisms of protein transport to mitochondria! We work in the interdysciplinary group and in collaboration with structural groups. !Structural friends please distribute! 😊
The AMBER call is still open and will close on September 8th. We are seeking a passionate Postdoctoral Researcher to investigate the mechanisms driving protein transport into mitochondria in Prof. Agnieszka Chacińska's group. lnkd.in/etNHhNXf
A successful visit has come to an end.Filip Kuś from the University of Gdańsk received an EMBO Scientific Exchange Grant to study the function of molecular chaperones. Over the last three months, he has obtained impressive data using FLIM. Best of luck with the next steps, Filip!

Please don't forget to submit an abstract! 💌 The deadline (June 30) is approaching: gbm-compact.org/gbm-compact-20…

🚨 New review out in Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology! Expert recommendations for studying organelle contact sites and introduce the concept of organelle contactome 🧬nature.com/articles/s4158… Huge thanks to editor Lisa Heinke for the support and guidance! 🙏@NatRevMCB
Join us in Lorne for the 11th ISA. We have a fantastic line up of speakers at a beautiful coastal location in Australia. Hope to see you there!

Freshly published from us! We demonstrate an amaizing regulation of the TIM23 machinery for protein import into mitochondria. One form of this machinery, TIMM17A is constantly degrated, and only sometimes saved from destruction by OCIAD1. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39630581/
Postdocs in biochemistry & molecular neuroscience in Berlin to study presynapse formation in human neurons funded by the ERC (see leibniz-fmp.de/haucke; Rizalar et al Haucke (2023) Science). A few more days left to apply: [email protected].
Very excited to share that our manuscript on the "Discovery and mechanism of K63-linkage-directed deubiquitinase activity in USP53" was published today at Nature Chemical Biology @nchembio. Congratulations Kim, Kai, and all authors! nature.com/articles/s4158…
For all ubiquitin, deubiquitinase and chemical biology aficionados: Here's a preprint from the lab introducing 2 new active DUBs in humans & a unique type of DUB activity one would miss with the widely used panels of free ubiquitin chains. t.ly/GnRVv Thread👇(1/10)
