First day of home office MPI-CBG Dresden ! Hello there #Dresden ! Interesting timing amidst a #pandemic and on #AprilFoolsDay but this is happening #ForReal. Excited!

Setting the record straight on the resignation of the ERC president erc.europa.eu/news/resignati…

From "Swiss made" to homemade! Your own synthetic nanobodies in 196 steps 😃 Out now: doi.org/10.1038/s41596…. Great collaboration with Seeger Lab and Simon Newstead!

📢Our rapid response to the COVID-19 pandemic on bioRxiv „Synthetic nanobodies targeting the SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain“ The sequences of the 63 unique anti-RBD #sybodies selected within 12 working days are open access. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

First-ever description of cross-species #genderequity?? 🤔 Bit too bloody for my taste but nevertheless: wow! This week in ZEIT ONLINE.

Mixed f̶e̶e̶l̶i̶n̶g̶s̶ observations over mixed d̶r̶i̶n̶k̶s̶ conformations. Check out Katharina's review on cooperativity in elevator transporters!! 🌟With a special guest role for bilayer deformations🌟 doi.org/10.1042/bst201…

.Inga Hänelt knows I am a very spontaneous guy.. 🙃#bestcolleagueever from #FFMembrane!

24 yrs ago, Roger Tsien et al introduced the first fluorescent biosensors based on #GFP. Today, we introduce the first acoustic biosensors based on #gasvesicles. Now it's possible to image the action of specific molecules (enzymes) in the body w/ultrasound nature.com/articles/s4158…

The #alpacalypse continues.. bbc.com/sport/av/footb…

From mega to macro to pro-macro.. and my guess is this is not the end of it yet. 😎 How a small #nanobody turned big and rigid (and on the fly contributed to the structure of the LptDE outer membrane protein complex!!!)👇

Wow! 👇Well-earned!😀🍾 Bert Poolman appointed Knight in the Order of the Dutch Lion rug.nl/news/2021/04/b…

#Biophysics #Lifesciences #Chemistry Looking for interdisciplinary backgrounds for our diverse projects, from jesse veenvliet Jacqueline Tabler Pierre Haas Dora Tang MOSAIC Group Claudia Christina Kurzthaler Eric Geertsma Carl D Modes Rita Mateus 🐠🧪🧮🔬🐁

A true achievement MPI-CBG Dresden: I managed to secure bike-stand #1. That will be a lot of walking on campus today cause I am not gonna give up this baby.. 😎

Positive news for negative ions! 👉@HendrikSikkema received a #MSCA postdoctoral fellowship!!! 🎉🥳 QuantiCl will study anion transport in organ development & function MPI-CBG Dresden . Stay tuned!😊

Man-made hinges date back to 1600 BC. ⭐️postdoc Benedikt Kuhn et al. now show that elevator-like #solutecarriers had them long before 🤩 to control conformational space + function! Great collab w Julian Langer lab and Seeger Lab. Out in Nature Communications doi.org/10.1038/s41467…
