12 days left! We have an open PhD position on phase separation of RNA viruses such as Ebola. We want to understand the sequence determinants of phase-separating proteins using proteomics, imaging, structure, and AI. Interested? Apply at tinyurl.com/yd4tudp7. We are B04!

We had a great time hosting the Honours Programme of the bachelor Biomedical Sciences at Utrecht University together with EMBL Hamburg and harbor_unihh. The students not only visited our cyo-EM facility and ALFM facility but also had a poster session with our students.

Congratulations to Osvaldo Burastero for being awarded an Instruct-ERIC Technology Development grant for the “Development of an online tool for analysing kinetics of biomolecular reactions” as part of the eSPC server spc.embl-hamburg.de

Feeling happy with the arrival of our new 🐣! The MST Monolith Pico RED/LabelFree already available at the SPC! 🥳Thanks to @cssb for their unconditional support 🙏

Are you interested in viral condensates and principles of phase separation? We are especially looking for a PhD student who can code and wants to do live-cell imaging and cryo-EM: tinyurl.com/yd4tudp7. We are B04 in the new CRC 1648

Happy to be part of CSSB DESY (Deutsch) #ScienceCityHamburg! Great infrastructure and a lot of people working infection research! Thanks for welcoming the Barisch lab! 🧪 🥼 🧫 🔬

Tim Soh, senior scientist in my lab and data science wizard, will soon give a talk at #IHW2024 He will introduce proteome-wide interaction predictions for HSV-1, HCMV and KSHV with stringent scoring. Our database probing 23000 combinations is available at bosse-lab.org/herpesppis

Congrats Aby Anand!

Postdoc doing his job?! 😀 Aby Anand from FZ Borstel at the first Barisch lab bbq at CSSB !

UE Schaible Caro Barisch FZ Borstel CSSB You are right UE Schaible 😄

⚡️Great coincidence! First day of the lipidomics forum FZ Borstel, our first paper with lipidomics is peer-reviewed at iScience journal! Congratulations to first author Stevanus A. Listian! 🎉cell.com/iscience/fullt…

📯We showed that Dictyostelium discoideum produces phosphoinositol-containing sphingolipids and identified an IPC synthase! Super cool collaboration with Holthuis Lab , Florian Fröhlich and IRTG-SFB1557 !

Many thanks also to the second author, twitterless Anna-Carina Mazur who really did a great job for the revision! She created the 3D models and took fantastic images of DdCSS2 at the ALFM facility CSSB !

Caro Barisch illuminating the relationship between intracellular mycobacteria and their host cells (Dictyostelium but not only 👀) at the #Mycobact2024 in Stockholm ! Fascinating 🔥

This years LIV Scientific Retreat gave all LIV & CSSB scientists a broad insight into the current main research topics: Viral Tropism & Pathogenesis, Pandemic Preparedness, Emerging Viruses & Proteomics and Molecular & Structural Virology.
