Seed to sub-Å! We just solved crambin at 0.85Å with #MicroED straight from spontaneous nanocrystals, phased ab-initio from a 5-res helix. Video shows diffraction ➜ ugly start map ➜ beautiful spheres. Preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #StructuralBiology #CryoEM

Our latest paper is out! We combine direct electron detection and energy filtering to boost the SNR of our MicroED data This work was done at HHMI and UCLA with @sciencemick.bsky.social who now runs his own lab at UB-HWI, Johan Hattne, and Tamir Gonen www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Our work in Nature Comms demonstrates how energy filtering, plasma FIB, and direct electron detectors in counting mode can push MicroED to sub-atomic resolution! Proud to have done this work back at UCLA. Hoping to bring similar capabilities to Buffalo. 📄 Read the paper: doi.org/10.1038/s414...

Ardem, I am sorry. In this middle of this chaos, HHMI will always hold the dubious distinction of being the first organization, federal or private, to cut an ongoing and funded DEI program. In the darkest hour, it ran for the hills. As a member of those groups, I can’t tell you how painful this is.

National Institutes of Health radically cuts support to universities
Sudden and drastic change will make it hard for researchers to keep the lights on.

I’m happy to share that @HWMRI has merged with @UBuffalo. My lab will stay at HWI, and my title is changing. I’m starting a new position as a tenure track Assistant Professor at the Jacob’s School of Medicine at the University at Buffalo!

Molecular sociology of virus-induced cellular condensates supporting reovirus assembly and replication - Nature Communications
Virus-induced cellular condensates are poorly understood. Using cryoET and cryoEM, the authors visualized the 3D “molecular sociology” of host-virus interactions and choreographed mammalian reovirus a...
