We were pleased to host a delegation from Baden-Württemberg 🇩🇪 led by Minister Petra Olschowski.

The visit focused on how Polish researchers apply AI & ML in life sciences.

Our guests learned about IIMCB’s mission, research, and Core Facilities — and we look forward to future collaboration! 🤝

Last week to apply!

▶️▶️ To all mass spec enthusiasts: A postdoc position (three years) is available in our international group. Please apply if you are interested in structural MS and in developing novel cross-link ing MS workflows!🧪
Thanks @diegofgar.bsky.social for sharing!

Structural Insights into Complement Inhibition: Visualizing Distinct Binding Modes of C4b-binding Protein Complexes with C4b and SAP C4b-binding protein (C4BP) is an innate immune inhibitor found in serum. Human C4BP adopts spider-like higher-order structures (HOS) formed by disulfide-linked C4BPα and C4BPβ chains that non-covalent...

🕷️ Spiders from our blood 🕷️
Check out our new paper from @hecklab.bsky.social describing how the spider-like immune regulator C4BP interacts with its native binding partners.

As the (German) saying goes: 🍾 Gotta cherish each celebration as it arrives 🥂

Out now: Another example of how lipidomics led us to see the full(er) picture - enigmatic membrane protein OCIAD1 has a functional role in peroxisomes. Great team work with students and collaborators alike 🧫👩‍🔬🔬

Time for lipid cell biology Nature Cell Biology - It is an exciting time for lipid metabolism and membrane cell biologists as technological progress has increased our ability to study lipids in cells. We asked leaders...

Exciting times for lipid cell biology! I am happy to share this viewpoint together with other colleagues on the challenges and exciting questions in lipid biology

This is great Tim 🥳

Happy to share our review about #mitochondrial respiratory complexes in #aging 😊

My first first-author review is out—feeling all the science 🦋🦋!
With @massspecvanili.bsky.social and @Agnieszka Chacińska we explore the fascinating role of lipids in mitochondrial protein import and why we need better tools to study them. So proud of this collaboration!

Very smooth, insightful, and professional experience with @cp-trendsbiochem.bsky.social - thank you @sanniejculbertson.bsky.social and reviewers!

Super excited to share this as my first post with the 🦋 world! In my first co-correspondent article, we (@Mayra Borrero @Agnieszka Chacińska @IMOL Institute) look at the roles of lipids in mitochondrial protein import complexes (spoiler: there are plenty!) &call for methods (spoiler: there are few!)
