Another paper from my postdoc with @CrinaNimigean on lipid modulation of an ion channel is out now. Great effort by @thon_oli further showcasing the value of a great model system. Congrats to the entire team! nature.com/articles/s4146…

I liked the reaction on the soundtrack/musical synopsis for our last paper, maybe every paper should have one. If you haven't seen/heard it yet, weekend is coming ! Paper @embojournal embopress.org/doi/full/10.10… Soundtrack by me and byteBBY @BebeByte on.soundcloud.com/sMNHNNSSdbcP3c…

A postdoc position is available in our lab to study how ion channels communicate with one another. Cryo-EM, electrophysiology, protein biophysics. A great opportunity for structural biologists to learn electrophysiology methods or vice versa. vanpetegemlab.com/opportunities.…

These simulations of membrane proteins in nanodiscs were so fun. Thank you @WChengLab for your continued enthusiasm for simulations that go beyond the basics - we are lucky computational collaborators! @VikramDalal_37 @PageAnesthesia

This is a very interesting paper showing that nanodiscs, typically used to preserve lipids for structural analysis of membrane proteins, can affect the structure of the target protein. First paper I read this year, happy 2024! nature.com/articles/s4146…

It’ll be great to have a new postdoc in my group to lead a new project (biochem/biophys/ephys). If there’s anyone out there who wants to chat, message me. I might be a little weird, but the proteins we’re interested in are weirder!

Forgot to mention at the end of my talk that I’m looking for grad students/postdocs/res scientists curious about how the pacemaker rate adapts. If you are interested let me know!!!
