Very cool! ESCRT-III is the PDB "molecule of the month"! pdb101.rcsb.org/motm/296

Meet our most recent PhD graduate, Dr. Barbora. We are very proud of your excellent defense.

I am very honored to get the European Research Council (ERC) StG and looking forward to the next 5 years of exciting research. I am grateful to my mentors and colleagues who helped me along the way! rptu.de/en/newsroom/ne…

Columbia will award the 2024 Louisa Gross Horwitz Prize to Scott Emr and Wesley Sundquist for discovering the ESCRT pathway and revealing how it works. Read more: columbiamed.link/47uD4jS

I am thrilled to receive the Young Investigator Award 🏆 from the German Biophysical Society at #dgfb24 ! I am very much looking forward to presenting my research during the plenary talk on Tuesday🚨Lipid Time 🚨

Dear All, after some longer break from twitter, I am very happy to announce that I started my own junior research group at the University of Osnabrück! 🥳 Please follow our official lab twitter Jamecna Lab :)

One of the main reasons I moved to Germany was for its strong biophysics community. Receiving the Young Investigator Award at #DGfB2024 is a true honor, and I’m excited to contribute to the German biophysical society. Thank you all for this recognition! 🇩🇪🔬🏆🎉🎉

the role of protein condensates in sorting cargoes and flattening membranes in the ESCRT-0 complex. Amazing work from Markku, a fantastic collaboration with Marko Kaksonen Wanda Kukulski Steph Vassilopoulos, thank you all!

BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Chemistry with one half to David Baker “for computational protein design” and the other half jointly to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper “for protein structure prediction.”
