Herzlichen Glückwunsch! Der Neurobiologe Prof. Dr. Stephan Sigrist vom Fachbereich Department Biology, Chemistry, Pharmacy FU Berlin der Freie Universität wird für die Erforschung der Gehirn-Resilienz mit einem ERC Advanced Grant in Höhe von mehr als 2,2 Millionen Euro gefördert. European Research Council (ERC) #ERCAdG fu-berlin.de/presse/informa…

Second day of the Membranes and Modules Conference here in Berlin #MaM2023. Beautiful talks with a great speaker lineup - great insights into membrane constitution, scaffolding and maintenance. Looking forward to day three tomorrow.

Opening for PhD student or postdoc in neuroscience to study the mechanisms of presynaptic membrane turnover via autophagy and endolysosomes (see leibniz-fmp.de/haucke). We are the first certified green lab in Germany. Apply to [email protected].

3. Mai 23, 18 Uhr: Department Biology, Chemistry, Pharmacy FU Berlin Vortragsreihe „Dahlemer Wissenschaftsgespräche“, Thema: „Membranproteine sind Nanomaschinen – Wie neue physikalische Methoden deren Funktionsmechanismus auf atomarer Ebene aufklären“. Physics at Freie Universität Berlin 👇 fu-berlin.de/presse/informa…

A tour the force of #geneediting and #STED. We have followed up on some of these findings and have 2 papers that will drop soon! looking at endogenous proteins at high resolution in their own unperturbed cellular environment is helping to reveal important trafficking mechanisms!

A new paper from Freund_Lab@FUB used a computational and experimental approach to detect peptide exchange of twelve abundant MHCII allotypes that enables responsiveness to HLA-DM catalysis. Open access.

New paper Nature Chemical Biology. With Esam Tolba Frank Noe we show that the popul. of a transient state of the catlyzed peptide exchange of MHC class 2 has a predictive value and dynamics correlate with odds ratio for autoimmune disease rheumatoid arthritis nature.com/articles/s4158…

Please re-tweet !!! The Stricker Lab looks for highly motivated NEW Team members at all career stages! If you are excited bout CRISPR, reprogramming, epigenome editing in organoids and in vivo please contact us!

Francesca Bottanelli and Anne Straube (annestraube.bsky.social) assembled the program for the 2nd #DGZ Focus Workshop on #MembraneTrafficking & #MolecularMotors, featuring Erik Schaeffer @schaeffer_lab, Harriet Saunders (Akhmanova lab), Claire Friel Friel Lab, & Felix Frey Felix Frey. Join us next week! ⬇️

the preprint of my PhD work is now available, make sure to check it out!

Umfrage zeigt: Durchschnittlich liegen zwischen Wohnort und FU-Campus 17 Kilometer. Warum @fu_berlin eine „Universität der öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel“ ist und wie die Mobilität auf dem Campus noch rad-, fuß- und klimafreundlicher gestaltet werden kann⬇️ fu-berlin.de/campusleben/ca…

New on BioRxiv: We investigate the fundamentalest of organelles, the plasma membrane. We finally show experimentally, that submembrane actin cables cause the compartmentalization of membrane protein motion that has been observed for decades. A tweetorial. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Please check out our new review on commonalities between vesicular and nonvesicular transport via intrinsically disordered proteins! Hope you will like it!

Proud to share Svenja's paper in Neuron on the coupling of exo- and endocytosis via Synaptotagmin-triggered signaling lipid synthesis: cell.com/neuron/fulltex… Take a look! Congrats to Svenja and everyone involved!

Die Gespräche der jungen Leute mit den Wissenschaftlern fanden die Teilnehmer aufschlussreich und interessant. Es war der Höhepunkt des Tages. Danke an Herrn Dähn shorturl.at/clDSY

3 first authors! 2 papers! Looking forward to getting feedback from the community! Alexander Stockhammer Petia Adarska Luis Wong-Dilworth

Wondering how cargo is shuttled around between compartments in the cell? We think it is via dynamic tubular vesicular compartments! Check out our two new pre-prints biorxiv.org/content/10.110… and biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We have an opening for a master’s thesis (biochemistry, mol. biology) on the characterization of novel small molecules targeting class II PI 3-kinase function (see Lo et al Nat Chem Biol 2023) starting 1 January 2024 (or later). Interested? Apply to [email protected]!

Great to finally see this online J Cell Science journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/13… I hope it is a great resource for everybody embarking in proximity labelling #masspec experiments! I promise all plasmids will be on Addgene in the next few weeks! Alexander Stockhammer Freund_Lab@FUB
