Super happy to say that our latest work on ESCRT-III-mediated #celldivision in archaea is up on bioRxiv! Buzz Baum's Lab Buzz Baum biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Congrats Anastasia!!! Finally we can globally understand RD models with many parameters in #biology - collaboration with Zerial Lab at Center for Systems Biology Dresden MPI-CBG Dresden TU Dresden presented at ECCB2026 Geneva, Switzerland — academic.oup.com/bioinformatics…

"It's an opportunity for me to recognise that all the work that so many trainees from my lab have done over the past 25 years and to reflect on how fortunate I have been and share in the celebration with them." – 2022 chemistry laureate Carolyn Bertozzi on her #NobelPrize

People are asking me about the origins of and key milestones in the timeline of #bioorthogonal chemistry, so here is a quick summary. 1/n

I get lots of people asking me how a chemistry curriculum can be 'decolonised', so I thought I'd make a short thread with examples. Firstly, decolonisation is not about removing science from the curriculum, it is about giving students more context (see: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…)

What is there to know about archaeal cell biology, out today in Nature Microbiology fun collaboration with @marleenvw Simonetta Gribaldo Andre Pulschen and Buzz Baum rdcu.be/cXJPv

Recently I convinced the institute to let me buy pizza for the campus once a month, not as a moral boosting strategy, but as bait. Today with the postdoc committee, I hosted the first Pizza Solves Everything event

NEW: a column in the Times argues that the only way to tackle obesity is through fat shaming (yes, you read that right). It’s an astonishing argument to make, and unsurprisingly it falls to pieces under scrutiny. Let’s take a look, and see if we can do better:

Are you curious? Do you want to explore the unknown? Do you want to delve into our origins? Are you an extremophile-phile? Do you want to work in the fabulous LMB? Do you BioRXIV? Do you like scones & ride a bike? If your answers to some of these are yes, come join us Buzz Baum's Lab

Our review on caged lipids probes is out! We (André Nadler) provide an overview of how to manipulate lipid levels on subcellular scales, how they have been used for biological questions, future challenges and our perspective on where the field is heading. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Happy to share a new story from the lab: we identified a new player in FtsZ- based cell division in Archaea! Great work by Phillip Nussbaum, Chris and our collaborators Danguole and Dom from Jan Löwe´s lab, Marko Kojić and @nartimsoole and Simonetta Gribaldo! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Happy light jacket day

📢✨ New preprint! Do carbon and energy metabolism affect archaeal lipid composition (ring index)? Turns out they do! Our results point to the fundamental role of cellular energy state & C metabolism in shaping GDGT cyclization in a thermoacidophile. doi.org/10.1101/2023.0…

Ever lain awake at night wondering which fluorescent dyes can be used to label cells in near-boiling acid? Look no further than our most recent paper in Buzz Baum's Lab on what worked and what didn't for live cell imaging of a hyperthermophilic archaeon: frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Finally online!! The first big chunk of my PhD work with M. Mycoides and JCVI-Syn3B shows how these Minimal Cells remodel their lipids in response to temperature perturbation. These tiny organisms with minimal genomes offer us a glimpse into cell membrane adaptation principles

📢I am so excited to announce the publication of my work characterizing extracellular vesicles of Euryarchaeota! Here, we identify an archaeal small GTPase directly involved in vesicle production with similarities to eukaryotic Arf GTPases. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
