Alright everybody, what will undoubtedly forever be the lab's strangest discovery is now out in Nature. It's a protein that evolved to self-assemble into a Sierpinski fractal. nature.com/articles/s4158… 1/n

Our lab is looking for a part-time (50% FTE) Research Assistant to help out with lab management and cloning. Looking for someone with a MSc degree and good DNA cloning experience. message or email me if interested

Enjoy this giant artwork on Irchel Campus: It was painted by French-Swiss artist SAYPE using eco-friendly paint. The ephemeral artwork is in support of SOS MEDITERRANEE Switzerland which was awarded the Right Livelihood Award, also known as Alternative Nobel Prize.

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…

Day five of the EMBO practical course “ Membrane protein expression, purification and characterisation 3 (mPEPC3)” in EMBL HH/CCSB. Markus Seeger, on Saturday morning , introducing us to Sybodies libraries to target membrane proteins for downstream applications💥🔎 #EMBOPEPC

It is a wrap 🙌🏽 ! Thank you so much to academic and industry speakers, tutors and participants who attended the EMBO practical course mPEPC3 in EMBL Hamburg/ CSSB. We had 8 days of lectures, practicals and networking on the membrane protein field 📚🦠🔬 👏🏽 to our sponsors!

Have you ever wanted to design protein binders with ease? Today we present 𝑩𝒊𝒏𝒅𝑪𝒓𝒂𝒇𝒕, a user-friendly and open-source pipeline that allows to anyone to create protein binders de novo with high experimental success rates. Bruno Correia Sergey Ovchinnikov biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

If you are interested in a joined effort towards building a synthetic cell (including -of course- membrane transporters), have a look at this post: nature.com/naturecareers/…

Mega start of the #nordinfect symposium in Kiel with the keynote talk from Seeger Lab ! Beautiful venue at the Leuchtturm der Wissenschaften ⚓️🛳️

I‘m happy to share our work on laser flash melting to overcome preferred orientation in cryo-EM samples! 🥳❄️🔬 More infos on the underlying mechanism of particle redistribution and the use for preferred orientation issues in the 🧵 or here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🥳Congrats to Sujani on successfully defending her PhD thesis! We are thrilled to celebrate your success and couldn't be prouder of all you've accomplished thanks to your determination, diligence and passion💪🥳
