Finally, our work on immune epitope mapping and membrane shedding events (induced by molecular crowding) on the trypanosome surface has been published!
Super happy - really cool project and fantastic collaboration with @ZEB_UniWue. 🥳

really cool work - check it out!

[Manuela Hospenthal @M_Hospenthal]

We are really excited to share our new preprint & first contribution to the natural transformation field!
Well done & thanks to @SebastianBraus, the whole lab, and our wonderful collaborators, @DrFranShort & Alvar Gossert, for making this happen!

When corona happened we paused our current projects and worked together with many scientists from different fields to fight the virus.
The project on virus-, and especially mutant-, detection, ( w/ B.Casati as first and @RiccardoPecori as corresp. author) is out now as pre-print!

Der 56. @jugend_forscht Wettbewerb startet mit den Regionalwettbewerben! Mein drittes Jahr im Ehrenamt der Jury Biologie wird dieses mal allerdings nicht vor Ort in der @spk_herford stattfinden, sondern dieses Jahr komplett online. Ich freue mich auf viele spannende Arbeiten!

[Alexander Hempelmann @AlexHempelmann]

Also our other work got published today in @NatureMicrobiol ! Another great collaboration on the quite old drug suramin and its pathway with visualisation of the corresponding VSGsur crystal structure!

Nanobody Mediated Macromolecular Crowding Induces Membrane Fission and Remodeling in the African Trypanosome https://t.co/teP0tj6vvP #bioRxiv

[Alexander Hempelmann @AlexHempelmann]

Our latest work (and my PhD main project) is now in bioRxiv!
Nanobody-VSG xray structures re-cast the understanding of the back-and-forth host-pathogen interaction and new insight in membrane fission events, without a dedicated protein machinery!

#mpm20 first day was great! Second presentation on Thursday and until then: talks talks talks :)

[Boris Striepen @striepenlab]

Wow this virtual poster session is really nice as you can hear and see the presenter. Great job Alexander Hempelmann! #mpm2020

[Alexander Hempelmann @AlexHempelmann]

@jugend_forscht Sehr gelungenes Motto!👍

[Alexander Hempelmann @AlexHempelmann]

Die Neue Runde #Jugendforscht läuft an - Ich bin gespannt darauf welche Projekte bis nächstes Frühjahr ausgetüftelt werden und hoffe auch viele bekannte Gesichter wiederzusehen!

[Jugend forscht @jugend_forscht]

#Jugendforscht startet in die neue Wettbewerbsrunde! Ab sofort könnt ihr euch und euer Forschungsprojekt wieder anmelden. Anmeldeschluss ist der 30. November 2020. Wir freuen uns auf viele spannende Arbeiten! #Jufo21 https://t.co/zrpXOhNab8

[DKFZ Immunology Infection and Cancer @DKFZImmunology]

📢New preprint from Erec Stebbins and Nina Papavasiliou's labs. Congrats to all who contributed to this fascinating work through a collaboration of scientists from @DKFZ, @UniBasel_en and @embl
