Discover how HIV-1 Gag hijack the cellular i-Bar protein IRSp53 to achieve full plasma membrane bending during virus assembly. Accelerated paper here doi.org/10.7554/eLife.… eLife - the journal. Congrats MURIAUX Delphine Kaushik Inamdar Feng-Ching Tsai Rayane Dibsy Peg34 Johnson Mak & all involved.

We have a post-doc position (alternatively research engineer) to develop super-resolution microscopy on model membranes and protein clustering/assembly. See science.institut-curie.org/research/multi…

#bps2022 Patricia Bassereau received the Avanti award. A proud Membrane Chick

Our new preprint with Voth Group and Lappalainen lab on unraveling the mechanisms of filopodia initiation by the membrane curvature sensor IRSp53 is out on bioRxiv: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. Thank you HFSP for funding this amazing collaboration.

Congratulations to Patricia Bassereau for being awarded the "medaille nationale du mérite". Bassereau Team Institut Curie

Patricia was named as "Chevalier de l’Ordre National du Mérite" for her 36 years of service by Ministère Enseignement supérieur/Recherche/Espace Congratulations 🥰 PCC CNRS 🌍 Institut Curie

Had really great time today at Institut Curie in Bassereau Team exchanging our excitement for science and talking about my work done with Haucke lab and #ReinhardJahn, SandoghdarLab & Theoretical & Computational Biophysics Department. Thank you Patricia, Feng-Ching Tsai, Asia and others!

Our work on chromosome micro-manipulation in living cells is out in Science Magazine! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… What if you could put your hand 🫳 inside a nucleus, grab a small portion of a chromosome 👌, and see how it reacts when you pull on it? 🤔 … 🧵 1/n

Oleg’s Mikhajlov Oleg paper on cell adhesion on fluid membrane is available biorxiv.org/content/10.110… biorxiv.org/content/10.110… We show for the first time that cells adhere and spread on bilateral with strong ligands, due to microtubule/dynein-dependent forces.

Our work suggests how cells can be mechanically resilient yet deformable, important for enabling cell migration and tissue morphogenesis.

Our new paper: “Activated I-BAR IRSp53 clustering controls the formation of VASP-actin–based membrane protrusions” science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

We updated our database and now list 385 postdoc fellowship opportunities (w/ description, deadline, amount, eligibility, etc). Getting one means a lot more freedom to do the work you want to do.

ERC Synergy Grants 2022 - project highlights | ERC europa.eu/!4qWJ9m

🏆🔬Trois projets de l’Institut Curie sont lauréats du très prestigieux programme #SynergyGrant 2022 décerné par European Research Council (ERC) : 👏🏼Félicitations à Ana Maria Lennon-Duménil Lennon Lab, @PielMatthieu, Janke Lab 🇪🇺, Patricia Bassereau & Pierre Sens !

Congratulations to all ERC Synergy recipients and in particular to the 8 scientists of Université PSL. I am particularly proud of the success of Patricia Bassereau (Bassereau Team) my spouse of 30 years and thankful to Institut Curie for supporting fundamental research in biology.

Aujourd'hui est célébré l'anniversaire des prix Nobel de Marie et Pierre Curie 🏅   Pour l'occasion, focus sur ces distinctions et les travaux récompensés, qui permirent de grandes avancées dans la sphère scientifique d'hier et aujourd'hui et dans la lutte contre le #cancer ⤵️

Registration for the #ScienceWorkshop Visualizing Membrane Protein Interactions (organised by Bassereau Team and Voth Group) is open now until April 17th! For more info, visit: voices.uchicago.edu/visualizing-me…
