Sorry that we couldn't post about all our great speakers—we were too focused on paying attention. We had a great time, and here is the group photo. Hope to see you all in Bochum for #StructuraLink2025!

Our first day is closed by Kay Diederichs—always a treat to hear such a well-versed expert in the field. What a brilliant first day of our meeting. 😍 Thanks to all the speakers—we couldn't name them all here. 😢 #StructuraLink2024

Christian Werner from the AG Niefind presents the continuation of the CK2 story. He did all the work in our facility 💪. #StructuraLink2024

Athanasios Papadopoulos kicks off our second session at the NRW Meeting 2024 #StructuraLink2024 with a new method for creating in vivo biosensors.

Our #StructuraLink2024 / NRW Meeting is started with Carsten Sachse from Jülich. 🔬 🎉

[Cologne Crystallisation facility @C2fBiochemistry]

Tomorrow starts the NRW-Meeting 2024 bringing together Structural Biologists from Cologne, Bochum and Düsseldorf for existing 2 days. It will be all about Structural Biology and we are grateful to host this years iteration! #StructuraLink2024 #StructuralBiology #Biochemistry

We are all at the Sunderlandhotel in the Sauerland, to attend the beautifully organises meeting by our colleagues from the CSS from thr @HHU_de in Düsseldorf. Looking forward to nice talks rotating around structural biology 👍

On our way to the SLS @psich_en for the first time since Covid IN PERSON. Quite a bit excited to measure in person again 😁

Our protein crystallography course 2023 is in full swing. It's a nice group! However, I still get amazed that students can surprise me after 10y+ teaching. Never saw an diffraction image as shown. Prob the detector moved during exposure?🤔(that should definitely NOT happen 😬)

It's the time you have all been waiting for, the official opening ceremony of #SynchrotronMugMadness 2: Electron Boogaloo. This year we have 26 light sources from 14 countries, 3 competing for the first time, and some new mugs from preivous competitors!

Let's meet the mugs!

A new paper of the Hofmann group with some interesting structures of unusual deubiquitinases measured at the great beamlines from @EMBLHamburg. Definitely worth reading 👍 https://t.co/RgkisyY3ZP

@KatUlrich_lab Welcome!

[Cologne Crystallisation facility @C2fBiochemistry]

Great publication with lots of fascinating CryoEM structures and an interesting crystal structures produced in our facility. Congratulations to all authors 👏 https://t.co/hnpClgMKxv

May the diffraction be with you all!

[Cologne Crystallisation facility @C2fBiochemistry]

We are guests at the CSS at the @HHU_de, a crystallisation facility we share a BAG @esrfsynchrotron with. Looking forward for many brilliant structural biology talks. 😁

[Cologne Crystallisation facility @C2fBiochemistry]

Got beautiful diffraction for a (still) unknown structure from an user of our facility. The ID30B @esrfsynchrotron worked like a charm 👍

[Cologne Crystallisation facility @C2fBiochemistry]

4 years, already 🙄 I guess we could ramp ul our activity here a little bit....😬 #MeinTwitterJubiläum

[Cologne Crystallisation facility @C2fBiochemistry]

After only, 6 month the left unit goes into retirement and will be replaced with its bigger sister. CryoEM data sizes are crazy 🤪

[Cologne Crystallisation facility @C2fBiochemistry]

@esrfsynchrotron This is a easy choice for us! Although we DO like the pun 😉

[Cologne Crystallisation facility @C2fBiochemistry]

I guess this qualifies me as a nerd, but I really like our new UniPucks. Can't wait to sent them out to the synchrotron next week 😉
