What happens when we pair HIV-1 and HTLV-1 CA subdomains in vitro? A new preprint by Mathias Percipalle from our lab provides an answer: Retroviral CA subdomains encode their immature assembly properties independently of strict subdomain co-pairing doi.org/10.64898/202... 👀Take a look!👀

Pls re-post: My department @oxfordbiochemistry.bsky.social are recruiting for several new faculty positions (links below). Broad search in molecular biology/biochemistry, across prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Interested in understanding life at the molecular level, this job might be for you! 1/n

The deadline for applying to the open postdoc position in our lab is coming up! Reach out if you have questions about the project, our lab and ISTA!

We are happy to share our newest preprint on a novel strain of Ca. Lokiarchaeum ossiferum, that contains an active provirus, capable of excision and independent replication! We propose a novel virus family: Fylgjaviridae. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Had a great time at the SMART International Symposium on Protein Sciences in Shenzhen last week. Really impressed by the students, their projects, curiosity, and sharp Q&A questions. What’s happening in China right now feels like a major shift in academic research (and clearly beyond).

ISTA @istaresearch.bsky.social is hiring a tenure-track staff scientist in Computational Structural Biology, to develop tools for cryo-EM, cryo-ET, structural prediction methods and protein interaction analysis! Please spread the word! ista.ac.at/en/job/tenur...

Huntingtin binds and bundles F-actin! Thrilled to team up with the Humbert (Sorbonne Université) and Song (KAIST) labs on this discovery. We had a blast doing cryo-ET on this unexpected complex — and now so many new questions lie ahead! #TeamTomo #CryoET #HTT #actin doi.org/10.1126/scia...

Hello microscopy and imaging experts and enthusiasts! We are looking for a staff scientist to join us here in Geneva to work on microscopy and image analysis projects! See the link for the job announcement (in French and in English). Please apply and/or repost! jobs.unige.ch/www/wd_porta...

We're hiring a postdoc! Join our ActinID project to explore an uncharacterized actin-binding protein. - Background in cell and/or structural biology? - Eager to bridge both fields? Get in touch if you're curious or have questions! #cellbiology #cryoEM #cryoET #actin ista.ac.at/en/job/postd...

Great work by Benjamin Springstein @huepfkiesel.bsky.social and the lab of Martin Loose @nartimsoole.bsky.social. Really stunning finding of the evolutionary repurposing of a DNA segregation machinery into a cell shape cytoskeletal system in cyanobacteria. Make sure to have a look!

Congratulations to Darya Chernikova from the lab who was awarded the Joint EMBO|FEBS Lecture Courses Special 2005–2025 Award at the "Physical Virology: across length scales" Workshop www.linkedin.com/posts/febs-f...

Had a great time at the Integrative Structural Biology Symposium in Barcelona and the Alba Synchrotron, organized by the Spanish Integrative Structural Biology Infrastructure Network (ISBIN) . Great line-up of speakers, presenting different methods and applications. Thanks for having me!
