Postdoc at STRUBI. Using cryo-EM to see viruses better.
ProteinCHAOS runs entirely in the browser and lets you choose how to visualize your protein structures.
It supports PDB files from the PDB and AlphaFold servers and offers several visual themes so you can "paint" abstract art with protein traces. I hope it helps you create some interesting images!
A particular highlight was to be able to see a bose-einstein condensate in Jorg Schmidmeyers lab at TU Wien.

10 days and 4 Uni’s later, happy to be back in Oxford with a head full of ideas! Thanks once again @danielhurdiss.bsky.social, Panagiotis Kastritis, @schurlab.bsky.social and Pradyumna Paranjape for hosting me! Enjoyed discussing science with you and your colleagues and lab members!

Same journal: here is an AI summary or evaluation of this paper. This might be more useful than the actual abstract or paper that the authors freaking wrote
Same journal: AI cover art which makes no sense? Oooh!
Insightful!

MPI–Weizmann Postdoc (4-year, co-mentored)
Together with Ori Avinoam (Weizmann), we’re recruiting a postdoc to uncover membrane remodelling mechanisms in muscle development using cryo-EM of recombinant proteins, and cell imaging/CLEM. Apply here by 21.11.25 forms.gle/ZtDWUjcTBu4d...
Dont worry… clouds were very much in the way 😔

Will the real scientists please stand up?
Whelp! Just saw this @builab.bsky.social ! Yes please give it a go and let me know if you have trouble using it.

New features include:
* Training on multiple tomograms (same training time, with linear increase in RAM) 🚀
* Logging and plotting of the loss function 📉
* The --scale option is now called --eq-weight for clarity 😉
We'd love to hear your feedback! 🙏🏽
Our new preprint is out 🥳🥳🥳
Henipaviruses, like Nipah and Hendra, package their genomes inside helical shells built by thousands of nucleoproteins. These nucleocapsids are essential to protect the viral RNA, but how do they ever let the polymerase in to read the sequence?

Congrats Ed!

I am advertising for a PhD position in my group. We'll be investigating how pathogenic RNA viruses replicate in the nucleus. The project will teach cryoEM/ET, virus culture, and in vitro assays.
If you're interested reach out and I'd be happy to have a chat.

Really excited to have our work out in the world. CCHFV has a 450kDa L-Protein, about twice the size of L-Proteins from other segmented RNA viruses. We have used cryoEM and functional assays to begin to understand it this massive multifunctional protein works.
End-to-end protein design in the browser through evedesign. Generate and interactively explore designs in 2D/3D and export them as codon-optimized DNA. The underlying open source framework (released soon) is build to easily add new methods, more on that soon.
