More fun at the Ion Channel GRC... those channels were clearly firing 😱🏃♀️➡️🏃♀️➡️🏃♀️➡️ with Reba Howard and @dr-hmalcolm.bsky.social
Fun at the Ion Channel GRC with @alexmsci.bsky.social @jorggrandl.bsky.social @cladoni.bsky.social and Swetha Murthy!
We are on field at the 2026 Center for Biomolecular Magnetic Resonance (BMRZ) Symposium in Frankfurt! Clemens Glaubitz introducing us to the center founded in 2002... here is to the next 24 years of great science and collaborations! 🧲🥳
Erice, here I come! Very much looking forward to the EMBO workshop on channels AND transporters (does it get any better than that?!?!) 😍 organized by Anna Moroni, Stephan Pless @plesslab.bsky.social & Alessio Accardi! And maybe it's just a very strange coincidence, but I was assigned seat 19F... 🥰🧲
A big thank you to all the wonderful people @mpi-ce.bsky.social for hosting us these last 2 days and introducing all kinds of different co-workers, large and small 🐜🪰🪲, stationary 🪴🌲🐢 and very(!) mobile🐛 Karin Groten, Claudia Voelckel and the entire Ulrich lab! 🥰 @yukoulrich.bsky.social
Standing ovations for an incredible Maya Schuldiner, who just received the Otto Warburg Metal at the #MosbacherKolloqium of the @gbmev.bsky.social and delivered the most impressive, passionate speeches one can imagine... beautiful oration by Christian Ungermann and many tears in the lecture hall 🧪💕
Organizers Inga, Eric and Joachim closing the famous Transport Colloquium of the GBM Study Group Biomembranes in a spectacular castle location - great fun to mingle with the German membrane transport crowd, now on to Mosbach! 😁 @gbmev.bsky.social @geertsmalab.bsky.social @ihaenelt.bsky.social
Chairs and Vice-chairs of the GRC Ligand Recognition and Molecular Gating... Enjoying the sun in Tuscany 🥰
Final symposium after 12 successful years: DFG-funded CRC1127 ChemBioSys - Chemical Mediators in complex Biosystems led by Christian Hertweck & Georg Pohnert is coming to an end 🥲 but so many cool things grew from it 🌱🦠 Wonderful plenary by Roderich Süssmuth in the beautiful @uni-jena.de aula 🤩
Thank you so much Peter Zygmunt and team for the invitation to Lund and two fantastic days of ion channels galore!😍 So glad I made the TRP and that we all agree mint ice cream is the best, even if TRPVs rule 😋🧊🌶 #LipidLove #TRPVanilloid
Spying on ABC multidrug transporters in action, gently nudged by our Victor! 😍 ZDF Mittagsmagazin visited us & co-LIFE speaker Michael Bauer to discuss antibiotic resistance: mechanisms, why basic research matters, & clinical challenges @microverse.bsky.social @uni-jena.de @lifeprofile.bsky.social
Our newest lab member has arrived! 😍🥳 Meet James, starring in our new production From Jena with Love. 🎬 #YouOnlyPatchTwice #TRPChannelsRule @naniontech.bsky.social
We proudly present: the 2025 Halloween Lab Pumpkin Carving Edition!!! 😁🥳👻
Took a TRP to beautiful Leuven and the sensory neurons are all firing.... Came for the Belgian 🍫, stayed for the🌶🧅 🧊 #TRPChannels #LipidLove
Ready to go!!! 🥳 So looking forward to reconnecting with the membrane peeps at Weill Cornell and making new friends at the Cell Biology of Metals GRC!!! 🤩 It's a brand new world for us, but we will try to Fe-rrociously immerse ourselves in it... 😅
We are ready for the last and BEST session of the GRC Mechanism of Membrane Transport!!!! 😉 The secret dynamic lives of channels and transporters... with Benjamin Orlando, @delemottelab.bsky.social @popstarlab.bsky.social and our amazing chair Dimitrios Stamou!!!
Bonjour Genève! So looking forward to seeing all the membrane transport peeps again in a few hours at the GRC Mechanism of Membrane Transport! But first need ro get up that mountain to Les Diablerets 😅 🗻
We are ready.... 😬 2 Clusters, 1 community.... everyone on edge 😅 Go Jena!!!!! @microverse.bsky.social @uni-jena.de
Not the wurst case science bluesky scenario: This post inspired me to look up a few other papers by the 'brilliant hoot' Fred Menger and led me to this absolute beauty! 🧪 Certainly NO ONE should feel pity for the mundane phospholipid and its inferiority complex as a "sausage casing" 🌭😂 #LipidLove
So proud that our very own Victor won a poster award for his amazing work on bidirectional coupling in an ABC transporter at #ABC2025! 😍🥳🥳🥳🥳 read more here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Both my scientific mentors at the same conference! 🥰 A great honor to be speaking after my postdoc supervisor @rachellegaudet.bsky.social at #ABC2025 and showing our new data on bidirectional transporter coupling, a journey Clemens Glaubitz originally started me on🧲🧪 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
The pink lady is back! Rocking it on and off the slopes with @djanuliene.bsky.social at #ABC2025! This is where we found great friends and some of the best collaboration partners! 🥰
First time ever riding Amtrak, now going from LA to San Diego to visit the Hibbs and Nguyen labs... And I gotta say, so far it's amazing! Train on time, super comfortable, wifi working AND a great beach sunset to boot 😍 So ready for that talk at UCSD tomorrow!
@renaeryan.bsky.social telling us who the three winners of the 2025 Cole Awards are! 🥳🥳🥳 #BPS2025
#BPS2025 Cole Award Dinner and they are serving.... Cs in bottles 😵💫 😅
Despite the snow we found it! Thank you @dastvanlab.bsky.social for going up the Arch with me!
WUSTL here I come!!! Looking forward to many exciting discussions with ion channel, IDP and lipid nerds, and a visit to the Arch - it's my first time in St Louis, so any additional tips welcome! And yes, I hope I packed adequately for the weather 🥶😅
Hanging out with amazing colleagues at the 100 Jahre Studienstiftung Jubilee in beautiful Dresden. @dominikniopek.bsky.social
Lego Mission 2024... finally done! All aboaaaard the Orient Express!!!!
