It is all a question of strain. This alpha-synuclein fibril "1B" causes Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) in mice. It resembles parts of the aSyn strain purified from human patients. It is dangerous. https://t.co/RjTytW3qXV

Congratulations to Professors Henning Stahlberg (@LabStahlberg), Knut Müller-Caspary (@CeNS_LMU), and Carsten Sachse (@SachseGroup) who have been awarded an @ERC_Research Synergy Grant #ERCSyG for their trailblazing project 4D-BioStem! https://t.co/jUJKO7rcCD

information can be found at https://t.co/TbXTZzIESL The position is available immediately, funding is available, and the start date is flexible. For questions or additional information, please contact Henning Stahlberg at henning.stahlberg@epfl.ch

Candidates should have experience in electron microscopy, electron tomography and/or image processing, and be open to support or participate in the development of new technologies at the level of hardware, EM operation, and online data processing.

For this, we develop novel approaches using a 300kV Titan Krios equipped with a cold-FEG, an RF cavity for GHz beam pulsing, a Cs probe corrector, the usual autoloader and Falcon4i, and followed by super-fast hybrid pixel electron detection.

The low signal-to-noise ratio in cryo-EM is limiting its performance. We explore diffractive electron imaging technologies such as Ptychography and other 4D STEM variants to improve resolution and contrast in cryo-EM.

PostDoc, Senior Scientist and/or PhD position in Cryo-EM Method Development in Lausanne We are looking for a PhD student, PostDoc, or Senior Scientist to join our team to support cryo-EM data collection, using conventional and novel approaches, including diffractive imaging.

The first CryoWriter prototype has arrived, from https://t.co/m3UBAvGbCU. Cryo-EM grids from nanoliters of sample, vitrified at ultrafast speed, here setup in a BSL-2 facility. We are so much looking forward to playing with this amazing tool.

Congratulations to @ShahmoraLab, winner of the @ParkinsonDotOrg "Stanley Fahn Junior Faculty Award." The award will support Dr. Shahmoradian's research using #cryoEM and #CLEM to study #Parkinsons disease. She is a member of @UtsWcand and @utswbrain.

The #cryoEM community is meeting again. Next week the #DCI22 symposium will take place in Geneva & Lausanne followed by the #3demgrc. This picture shows the first 3DEMGRC in 1985 and we are delighted that several participants will reunite at DCI22 including all 3 Nobel laureates.

We expect around >250 participants, with many friends and former colleagues of Jacques. Don’t miss this opportunity to get to know the pioneers and current leaders of the cryoEM field, and celebrate together Jacques 80th birthday! Also thanks to all our sponsors!

The #DCI22 symposium will take place in 20 days and you can still join! Please register here: https://t.co/4pyXJNDRik The conference fee can be paid onsite. Also check out this great booklet designed and made by the wonderful @MargotRiggi https://t.co/fUJX6pSR37 Please RT
