What holds your eye lens together? UCLA scientists along with now UB-HWI faculty found out! Using advanced microcrystal electron diffraction, they solved the structure of the abundant lens protein MP20. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Researchers from UCLA and UB-HWI have pushed the boundaries of electron crystallography, achieving sub-atomic resolution using energy-filtered #MicroED #CryoEM. This improves structural detail, advancing drug discovery and biomolecular research. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Now most folks cant tell the difference between an Xray diffraction pattern and #MicroED 😁 Behold 0.9Å 😍

Our latest work shows how energy filtering, PFIB, and direct electron detection unlock sub-atomic resolution for #MicroED! 🎯 Great work from @maxclabbers and JohanHattne back when I was with @gonenlab at @BC_UCLA. Excited to bring this capability to @UBuffalo!

I’m happy to share that @HWMRI has merged with @UBuffalo. My lab will stay at HWI, and my title is changing. I’m starting a new position as a tenure track Assistant Professor at the Jacob’s School of Medicine at the University at Buffalo!
