📢 We are hiring! My lab is looking for a postdoctoral researcher. If you are excited about understanding cholesterol transport between the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria, membrane biology, lipid metabolism, or super-resolution imaging, please apply by June 30th!

Turns out the head of the lab can still take some useful STED images… Back at the scope for now!

Today some landscape. Northern lights in Frankfurt😎!

🔬 Job Alert! 🚨 Goethe University Frankfurt is hiring a Head of our new Imaging Facility at Campus Riedberg! Lead and support a vibrant imaging community, working with cutting-edge microscopes, e.g. a new Zeiss LSM 980, a Z1 Light Sheet, and a new Leica Stellaris. gerbi-gmb.de/resources/ca...

After the success of our 2023 Imaging Cell Dynamics conference, we’ll be hosting a second #JCSImaging meeting in 2026, organised by @franbottanelli.bsky.social, @guijacquemet.bsky.social‬, @drmichaelway.bsky.social‬ & Giulia Zanetti. To register your interest: www.biologists.com/meetings/jcs...

Finally out in Nature Chem Bio: SNAP-tag2 for faster and brighter protein labeling www.nature.com/articles/s41... Thank you Steffi and Veselin.

SNAP-tag2 for faster and brighter protein labeling - Nature Chemical Biology

SNAP-tag is a widespread tool for labeling protein for bioimaging. Now, Kühn et al. report SNAP-tag2 with increased labeling kinetics and brightness, which translates into a better performance in live...
