Very happy to share our new manuscript on the photocycle of the highly sensitive, K⁺-selective channelrhodopsin #WiChR. Combining electrophysiology with K⁺ imaging & comp. modelling. Thanks Franzi for this fruitful cooperation—congrats to Sophia, Linda & team! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

21st International Conference on Retinal Proteins (ICRP2026) will be held in Siena, Italy, from September 14 to 19, 2026 Chair- Massimo Olivucci, Co-Chair- Kwang-Hwang Jung www.congressi.unisi.it/retinalprote...

Four years ago, the red-light–activated channelrhodopsin #Chrimson restored basic vision in a blind patient. Here, we uncover its #multicolor_photoreactions and show implications for optogenetic applications. Many interesting details and a wonderful team🥳! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Congratulations to Camille and @alinapi.bsky.social !

Amazing! Congratulation Zoe 💪🥳this great application of #BiPOLES and a really cool paper👍

Great Paper about light harvesting in proton pumping opsins!

🚨We have an open position in the lab for the engineering of new #optogenetic tools for light control of #subcellular biology!💡🧠🔬 Interested? Get in touch or apply 👍 karriere.charite.de/en/job-vacan...

Optogenetics 7.0 🍾 Cheers 🥂 @johvierock.bsky.social @oyiz.bsky.social @deisseroth.bsky.social

🎄PinkyCaMP- our christmas gift to you! 🎁: We are excited to present PinkyCaMP, the first mScarlet based calcium sensor with: ✨exceptional, brightness ✨phototability ✨and optogenetic compatability. Check out our new preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
