Today is an emotional day for me. Together with Prof. John McCutcheon lab @ASU we have visualized by cryoEM what looks like a very funky ribosome from an insect endosymbiont. We believe there are important evolutionary implications. Here the pre-print: biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…

Excited to share our new paper in @NatureComms! 🎉 A wonderful collaboration with Dan Goldberg at @washumedicine. Malaria parasites are known to digest human hemoglobin for food—but we discovered that they also use it to support their cytoskeleton. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Entrez dans les coulisses de la médecine! La Faculté de médecine de l’UNIGE souffle cette année ses 150 bougies: depuis 1876, elle a formé des générations de médecins et fait progresser la recherche qui soigne, ici et ailleurs. Pour célébrer cet anniversaire, elle ouvre grand ses portes au public: une journée pour découvrir tout ce qui se passe derrière ses murs. Au programme, des visites guidées de laboratoires, des ateliers interactifs, des expositions, des démonstrations et rencontres avec les équipes de recherche, sur des thèmes aussi variés que le cerveau, la génétique, les maladies infectieuses, la santé planétaire, le cancer, la médecine dentaire ou l'intelligence artificielle. De quoi satisfaire les curieuses et les curieux de tous âges, du grand public passionné de sciences et de santé à celles et ceux qui envisagent d’étudier la médecine. Plus d’informations et inscriptions à certains ateliers🔗 unige.ch/medecine/po-150ans 📅 Samedi 7 novembre 2026, 10h-17h 📍CMU, Rue Lombard 23, 1205 Genève 🎟️ Entrée libre, tout public #UNIGE #150ans #Medecine

Argon has this amazing natural understanding of the world. It can do so many things from first principles. Here's a pelican riding a bike, using fourier epicycles. Video made by Argon. Time-synced Lyria 3.5 music prompted by Argon.

When imaging at high mag using cryo-ET, field of view reduces. How to overcome this limit? How do we get a "bird’s-eye view" without compromising resolution? Our very own @brown_hamish has a solution to this: “montage tomography with a rectangular beam!” biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…

Super excited to share my postdoctoral work at @IMBA_Vienna @viennabiocenter - We discovered that some retrotransposons, or "jumping genes"🧬, are able to spread from cell to cell via a new viral infectivity route. A short thread: 🧵👇 (1/7)

A big week for the lab! Two new papers on how cells repair DNA double-strand breaks: one on getting NHEJ started in chromatin, one on processing the ends before ligation. Years of work by a fantastic team.

And ʙɪɴᴅᴄʀᴀꜰᴛ2 is for everyone: we've teamed up with @adaptyvbio, @AriaxBio & @tamarindbio to host it, so anyone can run it without a GPU. Built by Erik Mäeots, @eliza_chernova , Leonardo Tredese & Jan Dernic. Special thanks to @sokrypton & Lennart Nickel. 🚀
