🏆 The SCALE-it Best PhD Award 2025 celebrated groundbreaking doctoral research shaping the future of science! From interdisciplinary innovation to pioneering methods & major scientific contributions — we honored early-career researchers pushing the boundaries:🧵

🎉 We’re absolutely thrilled: SCALE has been selected as a DFG Excellence Cluster! A huge thank you to our incredible team—this would not have been possible without your dedication and talent. 🙌 @dfg.de #ClustersOfExcellence #SCALEcluster 🧵

SCALE becomes reality! I look forward to the coming years!

Fantastic! Congrats and success @stephanlab.bsky.social 🥳

Congratulations to our newly minted doctor! Michael Fuss defended his dissertation with flying colors last Friday!

Solène’s 4.5 years of postdoctoral work in our lab (she started just before the corona pandemic) has now been published. A heroic effort that revealed -at the single molecule level- that ATP drives the dissociation of an ECF transporter complex under turnover conditions. See rdcu.be/elTKc

This took us a while and I am all the happier it is finally out! I thought that simply adding ATP to purified potassium channel KtrAB should be sufficient to stabilize its active state. I was so wrong... Read the full story on how an IDR facilitates channel opening upon membrane interaction.

📣 Open call for a Full Professorship (W3) in Organic Synthesis. 🌍 University Frankfurt, Germany 🗓️ Application Deadline approaching: 23rd of May Join one of Germany’s leading universities. @goetheuni.bsky.social #ScienceCareers #JobOpportunity #FacultyPosition #OrganicChemistry

Our lab at the Buchmann Institute for Molecular Life Sciences is looking for talented individuals! If you're interested in super-resolution microscopy, cell biology, metabolism, or contact sites, I encourage you to reach out!

Fresh out of the press! ✨Check out our new paper on the violent entry of the HIV capsid into the nuclear pore — and how it cracks the gate! 🤯 💥 Incredible work from @becklab.bsky.social and @hummerlab.bsky.social 🤩 More here: www.biophys.mpg.de/2842024/hivcapsid-cracks-the-npc?c=2011019 🔗 #teamTOMO
