Come and join us at #SPAOM26!! Hands-on workshops and abstract accepted, amazing list of speakers, beautiful location and a great community!!

Being chaired by one of your best friends and opening up for your previous postdoc, who just opened her lab be still my heart

🔬🚀 It's out! Run 100s of imaging experiments before touching a microscope. #VLab4Mic reproduces them in silico from PDB/AlphaFold to help you image right first time. From rockstars Damián Martínez & Bruno Saraiva, inaugural preprint of @mariodelr.bsky.social new lab www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

It was a pleasure to help @mariodelr.bsky.social, @henriqueslab.bsky.social and everyone on this new way to think and plan our microscopy experiments!

How do you know if a microscopy experiment can actually resolve a biological structure? Introducing VLab4Mic, a platform that predicts structural resolvability before you go to the microscope Led by Damián Martinez and Bruno Saraiva at @henriqueslab.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Do you know how far phototoxicity can hinder your experiments?🤔 @mariodelr.bsky.social and @gomez-mariscal.bsky.social have just published their work on #PhotoFiTT in @natcomms.nature.com where they explain how to quantitatively measure it in live-cell imaging.⚡🧫🔬 Read more at: shorturl.at/ly9Zn

🚨Amazing news for a cloudy Monday!🌩️😎 I'm extremely happy to share that our last adventure is finally out!🚀🎉Phototoxicity fitness time trial (#PhotoFiTT) - a quantitative framework for assessing phototoxicity in live-cell microscopy experiments 🔬❤️‍🔥⚡️ doi.org/10.1038/s414...

It’s FINALLY out! 🎉🚀 We have been working on PhotoFiTT for a long time, and it’s now published, introducing a quantitative framework to measure phototoxicity and optimise live-cell microscopy experiments. So excited to finally share the last version! 🔬✨ #PhotoFiTT doi.org/10.1038/s414...

Fantastic work! Elegant experimental evolution with big implications for how cell size can evolve without compromising fitness. Congrats to Ana and collaborators, definitely worth a read for anyone into cell cycle, size control, or evolution 🧬🔄

Our Researcher @mariodelr.bsky.social and Raquel Portela from @microbematos.bsky.social were invited by @healthnewspt.bsky.social to talk about their new collaboration project awarded by Early Career Research Award, 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗙𝗶𝗧𝗧. Read the full interview at: tinyurl.com/infectofitt

🔬 Community Workshop #2: "Stretching the Limits: Exploring Biology with Expansion Microscopy" Learn how to unlock nanoscale #imaging with everyday microscopes using Expansion #Microscopy — #ExM. 🧑‍🔬Led by experts from @itqbnova.bsky.social: Carolina Feliciano and @mariodelr.bsky.social. #SPAOM2025

Baños welcomed us with sunny skies! One of our Ecuadorian organisers @mariodelr.bsky.social has been a key driving force behind this Workshop. #BiologistsWorkshops Learn more about Mario’s career path: focalplane.biologists.com/2023/08/22/a...
