Exciting news!
Our latest collaboration with @Beatfierz Lab is now available online in @NatureChemistry (nature.com/articles/s41557-0…).
We develop a new technology to produce semi-synthetic tubulin with defined PTMs and reveal that polyglutamylation directs detyrosination.
Hold on to your seats! The Pint of Science festival starts today until Wednesday in 26 countries and likely in your own city. Listen to talks from local experts while sipping your favourite drink in a pub 🍺🫖🥤 In Geneva we organized 9 amazing events pintofscience.com/
🔊 Attention PhD students and Postdocs! 🔊
We are excited to announce that we have been awarded the Swiss-ERC Starting Grant, which will be active until 2028. We are seeking 1-3 outstanding individuals per year, starting in 2023, 👇 (1/3)
to join our team and work on cutting-edge research projects focused on Microtubule dynamics, Motor proteins, Network organization, patterning, chemical label development, in vitro and in cell studies to decode cellular network polarity. 👇
Excited to share a new study from our group @unige_enbiorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…. Here we ask: does is matter where exactly in the cell a GPCR drives signaling? We address this question by focusing on opioid receptors.
A thread (1/7).
