🇨🇦🚨Job Alert🚨🇨🇦 Canada Excellence Research Chair (C$5 or C$10M, 8 yr budget) U Toronto, Dept of Biochem/LabMedPath *Was just told they're looking for a structural biologist using cryoEM* (related to infectious disease?) Are you an established PI ready to move to 🇨🇦? research.utoronto.ca/funding-oppo...

Thrilled to announce my first PhD publication in Nature Comms! We determined structures of the Tad pilus ATPase CpaF from Caulobacter. We use these structures to propose how CpaF employs a rotary mechanism of catalysis to drive Tad pilus assembly. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We are excited to spotlight this structure of the type 3 ryanodine receptor determined by Yu Seby Chen and colleagues from UBC and the University of Siena! It was a pleasure to collaborate with the Van Petegem (@filipvanpetegem.bsky.social) Lab on this lovely work! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

There is an exciting opportunity available to work in the vibrant cryoEM community here in Toronto! 🇨🇦 Happy to field informal inquiries about the position or about uprooting and moving to Toronto as a recent Torontonian myself! Please share widely. jobs.utoronto.ca/job/Toronto-...

Now published J. Med. Chem! @zestytoast.bsky.social's structure of type II NADH dehydrogenase from mycobacteria. A promising drug target for TB & other mycobacterial infections, Yingke demonstrates how an inhibitor can block transfer of electrons from NADH to the ETC. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....

I think it's important to reach out to your own community and explain what the funding cuts mean in practice.

🚨 Amazing Opportunity 🚨 U Alberta is looking for a director for their new #cryoEM facility Support excellent researchers (who are really nice people) using state-of-the-art infrastructure. + reasonable cost of living + near some of most beautiful places in world + 🇨🇦 apps.ualberta.ca/careers/post...

Most protein complexes are born only once. V-ATPase assembles over and over as part of its regulatory mechanism, enabled by RAVE (regulator of ATPase of vacuoles and endosomes) @hanlinw222.bsky.social's 1st struct of RAVE bound to a partial V1 complex now out in PNAS. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
