Great to see the #cryoID of Endospore Appendages from pathogenic Bacilli out in The EMBO Journal embopress.org/doi/abs/10.152… Built to last where others perish. Amazing architecture and self-assembly properties that results in flexible yet extremely resilient protein nanofibers.



It's out and peer reviewed. Great work on a sample that is more flexible than expected. Check out the paper of Piotr Kolata and Rouslan Efremov .

Honored to see our work featuring on the cover of The EMBO Journal. It was a fun little side gig to learn blender and generate the illustration. Han Remaut BECM_VIB VIB_StructuralBiologyBrussels VIB Mike Sleutel VUB Marina



It was a great pleasure to give a talk at the cryoem user meeting in Brussels, organized by the BECM_VIB, a chance to catch up with some old friends and to visit their fantastic facility including the impressive Cryo ARM 300 from JEOL becm.sites.vib.be/en/User-Meeting #CryoEM #Jeol #vib

Last week we had again a successful workshop, teaching scientists in Belgium about the basics of cryo-EM, to get them fit for future projects. Thanks JEOL EUROPE and BBS for sponsoring the event. #VIB VIB_StructuralBiologyBrussels



Exciting news! 🥳 My first story as an EMBO Fellows postdoc is officially published in Nature Communications We solved the structure of the EA1 #Slayer and investigated its function 🔬. Check out our key findings below👇🏼 (1/5). nature.com/articles/s4146…

Register for an in-person #cryoEM workshop w/ Thermo Fisher at BECM_VIB on 12/8, featuring guest speaker Andreas Boland (Andreas Boland). We will overview the latest in single particle analysis, including a live demo of our 100kV Tundra Cryo-TEM. bit.ly/3uAs8lv


Our next stop is BECM_VIB in Brussels! In this workshop, we’ll delve into all things #cryoEM and 100kV Tundra Cryo-TEM. I will be there with Rebecca Thompson, lingboyu and with our guest speaker Andreas Boland (Andreas Boland)! Register now! bit.ly/3T2sSd1
