Congratulations to Lalita Ramakrishnan (Ramakrishnan Lab), who has been awarded the 2024 Robert Koch Prize in recognition of her pioneering research into tuberculosis! Read the full news story here: www2.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/lalita-ramakri… #LMBNews

Today in Science Magazine, we report how a bacteria has evolved into a major human pathogen over the last 200 years. Read on, this is going to be an adventurous ride 1/n! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

UK visa costs are some of the highest in the world. Reviewing and addressing these high costs is a necessary step in attracting and retaining international scientific talent.

After 5 years of work by a group across the world our paper describing the parasitic lifestyle of Ca. Nha. antarcticus is finally out today in Nature Communications! Many thanks to all of the co-authors especially my amazing co-first author Yan Liao! nature.com/articles/s4146…

Working with these samples was incredibly challenging but with the expertise of Andriko von Kügelgen from Tanmay Bharat's group we were able to get cryo-clem showing internal membrane bound structures located where the nanohaloarchaeal dye was concentrated.

Delighted to play a small role in this exciting paper, congrats @josh

Today 60 years ago Tony Crowther started at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology! This afternoon, we celebrated this incredible feat. Tony's positivity has been and continues to be a great inspiration, and the fact he still comes to the lab every other week or so is a testimony to its fantastic vibe.

This work was done by Johannes Schwab. He recently made the courageous decision to move back home to Innsbruck without a next job lined up. Medizinische Uni or Universität Innsbruck @[email protected] would be fortunate to have him: he's a fantastic mathematician with a great eye for application! 🤗

Our #RELION5 tomography paper, with Alister Burt and Bogdan Toader is now online at FEBS Open Bio. We remain much impressed with the quality of the publishing process at this journal. febs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/22…

Remembering Steve Fuller - exactly 10 years today since he passed away. A key figure in development and application of #cryoEM methods. embl.org/news/alumni/14…
