Zum 1. März hat die BAdW vier neue Mitglieder in ihr #JungesKolleg aufgenommen: Gerti Beliu @uniregensburg.bsky.social, Gabriele Hierlmeier @uni-wuerzburg.de, Jacqueline Lammert @tum.de und Alex Plajer @unibayreuth.bsky.social Herzlich willkommen in der BAdW!

Expansion microscopy improves resolution, but integration with SMLM remains challenging. In our new preprint, we present a simplified strategy using spontaneously blinking dyes, validated against well-defined reference structures including NPCs and PicoRulers! ➡️ www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Highest recommendations! What a fantastic opportunity! Please consider applying!

Janelia is hiring! "Invent new imaging methods, molecular tools, or protein chemistry approaches" www.janelia.org/content/lead...

Recently out: “Uniform dynamics of cohesin-mediated loop extrusion in living human cells”. In this study led by brilliant former PhD student Thomas Sabaté we use live cell microscopy and polymer simulations to characterize how DNA loops and TADs form in human cells by cohesin-driven extrusion.
