⭐️Don't miss the first EpiC seminar of the year!⭐️ Dr. Alex Miller Alexandria Miller will present her fascinating work on viral ion channels. Please RT! 👇

Excited for our recent study published in JCI! We repurposed verapamil to reverse muscle phenotypes in a myotonic dystrophy mouse model. Check it out here! jci.org/articles/view/…

Open PhD position ‼️ If you're a motivated student looking for a PhD position and interested in pancreatic beta-cell excitability, don’t miss the chance to come and work with us in the beautiful city of Innsbruck! Info about the project and how to apply ⬇️ cavx.at/open-positions/

Please register soon for the upcoming CMS Annual Meeting and Reception on Feb 11 in Philadelphia, PA, space is limited.

Magnetic Isolation and Concentration (MagIC)-cryo-EM is a new method to enable direct structural analysis of targets captured on nanomagnetic beads, which requires only 0.0005 mg/mL of targets in 100 µL crude solution to make 10 cryo-EM grids. I will explain the magic behind it!

Excited to share my final PostDoc work! Introducing MagIC-cryo-EM🪄 & DuSTER🧹, these methods reduce cryo-EM sample requirements (0.0005 mg/mL), enabling ALL biologists to explore the structural basis of diverse biological events! BioRxiv: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Pleased to share our review article on Junctophilin family proteins. It is amazing there are still many unknowns about their physiology and role in disease. annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.114…

For those working on ryanodine receptor related myopathies: grant opportunity from the RYR-1 Foundation. LOI due May 18th. proposalcentral.com/default.asp

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.…

A new faculty position in cardiac arrhythmia in the greater Vancouver area. sfu.ca/content/dam/sf… Come join our local arrhythmia community.
