How do organisms make and shape minerals, how is this relevant to human health, and how can it be utilized for sustainable materials production? To discuss these and other topics, join the GRC on Biomineralization from 2-8 August. More information at grc.org/biomineralization-co…

Check out our latest pre-print based on my PhD work, in which we shed light on the roles of myosins and actin in diatom gliding motility! #diatom #actin #myosin @StefanDiezLab @KrogerLab biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Diatom experts join forces with theoretical physicist. What a collaboration by @KrogerLab and @friedrich_group! 🥳 Check out the details below⤵️
Diatoms live in glass houses, with ornate silica cell walls. We propose a new mechanism of branching morphogenesis to quantitatively explain branched silica rib patterns, a recurring pattern feature - just out in @PNASNews 🧵pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.23…

#Alphafold predicts that this domain has a strikingly similarity to ice-binding proteins even though their is minimal sequence homology

Pacbio genome sequencing revealed that some diatom adhesive proteins are enormous and highly repetitive and we discuss how these play a role in diatom motility and biofilm formation
