The @dmf-unil.bsky.social is supporting the application of a candidate for the SNSF/ERC Starting Grant (deadline 5th of May). Reach out to me if you are interested. We are collecting CV’s until the 8th of Feb. We can offer a stimulating scientific environment and help with the application/interview.

🚨📣Looking for SNSF/ERC Starting Grant host? @dmf-unil.bsky.social offers space, mentoring & admin support! Deadlines: SNSF 5 May, ERC ~Oct. Please, send us CV + brief research stmt by 8 Feb → reach out!!!🚀

✨Opportunity to join the 🦁🦠 Predatory Bacteria lab! My lab will move to University of Bern (CH) in April 2026 based on my #ERCStG. Therefore, we are looking for: -a PhD student (shorturl.at/mt0LR) -a 50% Technical Assistant/Lab manager (shorturl.at/0IIKe) 🙏Thanks for sharing. #MicroSky

Thrilled to share that the final piece of my PhD work is now on bioRxiv! biorxiv.org/content/10.1... With support from @nvidia and the @NSF, we used AlphaFold to screen 1.6M+ protein pairs, revealing thousands of potential novel PPIs. All data can be viewed at predictomes.org/hp

And that’s a wrap on the Great Wall Symposium 2025! Roll on 2027, venue to be confirmed shortly …

We are hiring a Postdoc in membrane protein cryo-EM at the University of Georgia. Looking for candidates with expertise in membrane protein purification and biochemistry. Fully funded for up to 5 years. Join us in Athens, GA. Apply: [email protected]

So happy to have contributed to this beautiful study led by PetrPelech! A combined theory–experiment effort based on our in situ cryo-ET data, revealing how stress-mediated growth shapes E. coli division site morphogenesis. #teamtomo 🌐 🦠🔬❄️🐎 👉📄 doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

🚨New preprint!🚨 #teamtomo We expanded Surface Morphometrics to quantify membrane thickness from cryo-ET—revealing local variation across organelles. Led by the lab’s first grad student, @mmedina300kv.bsky.social (defending Monday! 🍾) w/ @attychang.bsky.social @hamid13r.bsky.social & @tomo.science

We are looking for a postdoctoral fellow to join us to explore telomerase regulation by histones. Please get in touch if this may interest you.

Join the Blokesch lab (@EPFL) as a postdoc in Molecular Microbiology 🤩 Study Vibrio cholerae defense systems (phage/plasmid) in a dynamic, collaborative environment in Lausanne close to Lake Geneva in 🇨🇭! Please visit my lab's webpage for details about the position and how to formally apply.

After years parked at a Polara, I’m excited to share that my PhD work is finally out! We figured out why imaging at liquid helium temperatures wasn’t working—and how to fix it. 🔗 www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Our work on HIV-1 matrix, led by James Stacey and @dhrebik.bsky.social, is in this week's @nature.com. Extended explanatory video from @margotriggi.bsky.social. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The aPBP-type cell wall synthase PBP1b plays a specialized role in fortifying the Escherichia coli division site against osmotic rupture www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.04.02.646830v1 #cryoem

🚨👉 Please check our recent work on bacterial cell division. In situ Cryo-ET reveals the cellular function of the penicillin binding protein 1b supported by AFM, live-cell imaging, in silico AlphaFold proteome screen and TIRFM. Hope you enjoy the read! #teamtomo #cryo-ET ❄️🔬🐎 big thanks to the team!

Double the grants, double the money, double the impact! Huge thanks to our amazing teams -proof that scientific power couples thrive in inclusive, diverse and open-minded institutions. And the real winner? Science, of course!🏆🔬Grateful beyond words! ❄️🐎 @dmf-unil.bsky.social @snsf-ch.bsky.social

Asgard archaea have actin - but what about microtubules? Where do they come from? 🧐 Our new paper www.cell.com/cell/fulltex... by @xujwet.bsky.social & @florianwollweber.bsky.social, in collaboration with the Schleper & Wieczorek labs, describes tiny Asgard microtubules! #TeamTomo #ArchaeaSky 1/6

WE GOT THE COVER!!!

Hello bluesky community! Happy to be finally here ;)🐎
