A real labour of love by a group of friends united by an obsession with microscopy in awe of the hidden cellular biodiversity all around us. It’s been nothing but a joy and privilege to be part of this. We hope you enjoy the images 😊 #PlanExM

1/9 Insanely PROUD to share our new collaborative project with Gautam Dey & @CentrioleLab. #PlanExM We think (almost certain) #Expansion #Microscopy (#UExM) is a turning point for #Protistology and #Cell Biology. 🔗 [tinyurl.com/PlanExM1]

We're hiring a Group Leader in Infection Biology! 🧬 Apply now to join us at the IRIM in Montpellier, and lead cutting-edge research in pathogen virulence, host-pathogen interactions or drug resistance, and shape the future of infection biology! 🦠🧫 🗓️ Deadline: Feb. 28, 2025

It’s not that there are no powerful bad actors in science, it’s just that they’re massively outnumbered by the good ones. Being an open book my whole career has gotten me scooped twice but has paid me many times over in goodwill, collaborations, friendships, and opportunities 💙

Welcome to the EMBO Membership! #EMBOat60

Quite humble to be joining the FEBS community, & certain this support will help us explore the #Evolutionary #Cell Biology of #multicellular #development at the root of #animals using our fav #Ichthyosporea Kudos to all lab members & collaborators who made this possible🙏🙏

#NOTtheCover Unfortunately, we didn't make the cover nature. I still think our proposition deserves sharing. Enjoy the read: nature.com/articles/s4158…

HIV-1 budding requires cortical actin disassembly by the oxidoreductase MICAL1 Congrats to Echard Lab, Pasteur Institute, Paris revealing an unexpected connection between oxidoreduction and viral budding. PNAS pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Dive into the final version of #HIV-1 and #MICAL1 story 🤩 🦠 🔬 Now available in PNASNews , brought to you by Echard Lab, Pasteur Institute, Paris Cell Biology & Infection

Next Cell Biology & Infection seminar! Invited by Arnaud ECHARD

Little big step towards better live cell imaging.

Congratulations, Gautam Dey! 👏 The EMBL Group Leader has been selected to be part of EMBO's Young Investigator Programme and will receive networking, training, and mentorship opportunities over the next four years, in addition to an award of €15,000. embl.org/news/awards-ho…

Bridges and communication! Tunnelling nanotubes (TNTs) are actin-based cell protrusions that connect neighbouring cells. Korenkova et al. now characterize TNTs in live zebrafish embryos! Zurzolo Lab

Crystal 1/5 I’m really glad to be part of this InstitutNeuroMyoGène amazing adventure with CNRS 🌍 in 2024 to celebrate with the 9 individual medales and the 3 collective ones Tuesday 17th in Lyon rhone-auvergne.cnrs.fr/fr/cnrsinfo/ce… Teaser | Médailles CNRS 2024 youtu.be/c-SzH1nIL-Q?si… via YouTube

🍾Our small #Expansion #Microscopy adventure is only starting! We are happy to announce that Moore Foundation will be funding our efforts in creating an Expansion Microscopy atlas of #Microbial #Eukaryotes with Gautam Dey Université de Genève EMBL Link: unige.ch/sciences/chimi… 1/4

After all these years, I still believe in it:

Proud to share our new article about the fastest real-time SMLM quality control algorithm called QCM! 1/2 cell.com/biophysj/fullt…

Happy to share our work (final aspect of my thesis). We tried to understand why neuronal and microglial cells upregulate TNTs in the presence of α-Synuclein aggregates? Turns out inflammation has a major role to play in the process! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Thrilled to receive an @ANR JCJC grant to explore chromatin-driven antiviral defenses and to revisit some of the underlying principles behind the HUSH complex. Exciting times ahead @institutcochin
