UNIGE postdoc? 🎓 Interested in sharing your research in a friendly seminar? Join the new SCIENCE CLUB with Physics, Chemistry & Biology colleagues! Contact us for details 👍 Not a postdoc? Please share with yours!

Lately it has been demonstrated the essential role of organelle-organelle contacts. Here @jcellsci.bsky.social shows beautifully the main methods to investigate them :) ... although I believe Expansion microscopy can also help for that!

Job Opportunities at CQSL At the Computational Quantum Science Lab we typically have several openings yearly (at the PhD/ Postdoc level). Applications are reviewed twice a year, at the beginning of April and at the beginning o...

I am looking for a talented postdoc to join my group at EPFL, in Lausanne, Switzerland. Goal is to develop and apply state-of-the-art neural quantum states for electronic structure and related applications. Position to be filled soon, excellent conditions! Apply here: www.epfl.ch/labs/cqsl/jo...

If you are able, we highly reccomend to participate to review the proposals of PIs of tomorrow :)

Before making a career move, try an experiment How to use a curiosity-led strategy to find the right role.

During career exploration, small, intentional experiments, such as this one, can turn uncertainty into insight and shrink the psychological distance between the current situation and what comes next.

Structure of ATTRv-F64S fibrils isolated from skin tissue of a living patient Amyloid transthyretin-derived (ATTR) amyloidosis is a degenerative, systemic disease characterized by transthyretin fibril deposition in organs like the heart, kidneys, liver, and skin. We report the ...

🧩 First-ever cryo-EM structure of transthyretin fibrils from skin tissue! A rare mutation shows the same fold as in other tissues, confirming that a simple skin biopsy can give the same structural insights as invasive organ sampling.
Congrats to Jun Yu & Melli/Boland teams! 🎉

This one was made by Souvik Giri, a postdoc in the quantum materials discovery lab and... the only one member of the APDU of the Physics Department - so physics, don't be shy and come to the dark side as him-. He is focused in design and synthesis of new compounds with interesting quantum properties

Every spike in this photo is a single crystal💠 — an ordered atomic array grown layer by layer. These crystals of transition metal chalcogenide halide doesn’t occur naturally; we built it atom by atom⚛️. Single crystals, which are always chemically pure, allow us to characterise physical properties

Show us your creativity and the beauty of Science 😙🥰
Send us your scientific image for the Image contest that we will do in the Postdoc Day :)

There will be amazing prizes!

Did you know the cell wall of mycobacteria isn’t just for protection? 🧱👀 Here, Mycobacterium marinum sheds its outer capsule right after being eaten by Dicty! A sneaky move that affects even nearby cells… #FluorescenceFriday #Mycobacteria #CellBiology #Infection #3Rmodels #Phagocytosis

Being a postdoc is wild, you can:
– Teach a PhD how to pipette
-“Interesting, it broke in a new way this time”
– Fix a $500k microscope with ducktape
– PI: “Sorry just saw this” (sent 3 months ago)
– Present at a conference on 1 hour of sleep
– Cry in 3 languages!

Don't miss the new preprint leaded by one of the postdocs in Unige, Florent Lemaitre ;) T-Cells images at an incredible resolution

Schematics of the actin fusion focus

New lab preprint! High resolution mapping of the actin fusion focus reveals myosin V-dependent transport of formin for actin aster compaction.

A very cool work led by @valthomas.bsky.social and nice collaboration with Andrea Picco and @kaksonen.bsky.social!
