Congratulations to assistant professor Yi-Wei Chang for being selected as a 2023 Burroughs Wellcome Investigator in the Pathogenesis of Infectious Disease!
The most beautiful (and meticulous) imaging by Yi-Wei Chang and team showing us rhoptries in glorious new detail #MAM2024 MAM Conference
Congrats to all the Burroughs Wellcome Fund #PDEP and #PATH winners. Excited to see so many Penn colleagues at this meeting, especially these two rockstars Dr. Christopher Bourne (he/him) and Yi-Wei Chang.
Congratulations to Maayan Levy (@PennMicro) & Yi-Wei Chang (@BB_UPenn) on being selected as 2023 Burroughs Wellcome Fund Investigators in the Pathogenesis of Infectious Disease! #bwfpaf

New research out in Nature Communications uses cryo-ET with cryo-plasma FIB milling to reveal the ultrastructure of vitrified human brain tissue ft. Ben Creekmore, Kathryn Kixmoeller, Ben Black, Eddie Lee & Yi-Wei Chang Penn Path & Lab Medicine UPenn Dept of Biochem & Biophys BBCB Graduate Group tinyurl.com/5e5nrp2x
Work from our amazing BBCB Graduate Group student Katie Kixmoeller together with Ben Black lab, using cryo-CLEM/ET to discover that centromere components delineate chromatin with spatial clearings in human mitotic chromosomes, marking kinetochore formation sites!

Boris Striepen retreat in the woods of Norway off to a great start with lab presentations and evening highlight Yi-Wei Chang and everything cryoEM. I think we want to get into this now!
Together with Soldati Lab we studied the roles of newly identified proteins on the T. gondii intraconoidal microtubules. Which led to exciting insights into their vital role in coordinating rhoptries discharge and infection in animals!

Investigating actin filaments in #apicomplexan parasites using cryo-ET ft. Matthew Martinez, Shrawan Kumar Mageswaran, Amandine Guerin, William Chen, Yi-Wei Chang (@BB_UPenn), Cameron Thompson (@PennMuscle), Sabine Chavin (@PennSAS) & Boris Striepen (@PennVet) t.ly/8lqIJ
Check out the crypto gliding machinery caught in the act by cryoET. Working with Yi-Wei Chang and his team to figure out parasite structure is a just such a blast.
Thrilled that our eLife - the journal #ReviewedPreprint is now online! Congrats to 1st author Dr. Marisa Egan & co-authors @emily_a_orourke, Shrawan Kumar Mageswaran, Biao Zuo, Inna Martynuk, Tabitha, Emma Hunter, Antonia Bass, Yi-Wei Chang, & Igor Brodsky! Thank you to the editors & reviewers!
