We will announce a #postdoc opening in January. Cryo-ET and virus replication. If you're interested you can DM or email me already now. More info will follow!

Have you ever looked at the night sky and wondered if there’s a chlorophyll f in the reaction centre of Photosystem I from far-red light adapted cyanobacteria? 🦠 Well, we did (don’t judge) and the work that followed is now out as a First Release in @science.org www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Out in Science Advances: Our #cryoEM structure of HFTV1, a virus infecting the halophile #archaea. *First full atomic structure (containing all structural proteins) of any tailed virus!* Congrats and thanks to all co-authors and our fantastic collaborators! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

A laser flash melting procedure, followed by rapid revitrification, provides a simple approach to help mitigate the preferred orientation problem that plagues cryo-EM analysis. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Interested in our recent norovirus NS3 work? 👇 Join us to dig deeper! I'm recruiting a PhD candidate to investigate NS3's role in viral replication and assembly using #cryoEM, #cryoET, and other complementary techniques. 🔗 tinyurl.com/4f3t3aae Please share! 🙏

Powassan virus is a scary emerging tick-borne virus that causes neurological disease. It is great to see that my @ciddpsu.bsky.social colleagues are on top of it. www.psu.edu/news/researc...

New in @science.org We built a safe, atomic-resolution version of the Powassan virus—a deadly tick-borne #flavivirus with no vaccine. ✅ First structure ever ✅ Safe to handle (BSL-2) ✅ Platform for vaccines & antivirals Let me show you 🧵 (1/5) Link: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
