Playing with photoreceptors🌈 https://nwfz.charite.de/ueber_das_zentrum/mitglieder/vierock_lab/
First visitors of the new lab came all the way from Japan 🫶 Always a pleasure to discuss #opsin_mechanisms with Shoko and Satoshi and really looking forward to see them again this afternoon together with many other familiar faces at the #ICRP2026 starting today in Siena🇮🇹🧬🍾
Happy to announce that the #VierockLab is moving to #Goettingen joining the new #Else-Kröner-Fresensius-Center-for-Optogenetic-Therapies and a vibrant Optogenetics Community in their goal to bring Optogenetics to the clinic! In the #OpsinEngineeringLab we have Openings - please share and apply! 🚀☺️🎊
Very happy to share our new manuscript on the photocycle of the highly sensitive, K⁺-selective channelrhodopsin #WiChR. Combining electrophysiology with K⁺ imaging & comp. modelling. Thanks Franzi for this fruitful cooperation—congrats to Sophia, Linda & team! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Experimentally informed, quantitative photocycle model of the light-gated potassium channel WiChR
Light-gated ion channels (channelrhodopsins; ChR) can be used to precisely control the electrical activity of genetically targeted cell populations wi…

Four years ago, the red-light–activated channelrhodopsin #Chrimson restored basic vision in a blind patient. Here, we uncover its #multicolor_photoreactions and show implications for optogenetic applications. Many interesting details and a wonderful team🥳! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Amazing! Congratulation Zoe 💪🥳this great application of #BiPOLES and a really cool paper👍
Zoé Christenson Wick@zoechristensonwick.bsky.social · last yr.(This is the part of the paper where I had to summarize many. many. many. years of work in 2 sentences): PhaSER works best to shift the phase locking of interneurons when coupled with bidirectional manipulations (thank you, BiPOLES!!!) 👏 @simwieg.bsky.social @johvierock.bsky.social
🚨We have an open position in the lab for the engineering of new #optogenetic tools for light control of #subcellular biology!💡🧠🔬 Interested? Get in touch or apply 👍 karriere.charite.de/en/job-vacan...
