We are hiring! 🧬 A #Postdoc position is open in our lab @MCB_UJ in #Krakow. We use #VirusMimetic #ProteinCages to investigate #RNAProcessing in cells. Details at https://t.co/UAwv6g6ozn, https://t.co/ELbhB70Et9

[Azuma Group @GroupAzuma]

🎉 Our lab has been awarded a new NCN funding! We're engineering bacterial #proteincages into programmable nanocarriers for #RNA packaging and sampling. Recruiting 2 #PhDstudents and 1 #postdoc. Get in touch! https://t.co/ts0potAu4n #SyntheticBiology #AcademicJobs

Our new paper is out @NatureComms🎉Mushrooms are a good source of #VitaminB2, but did you know some bacteria produce the same nutrient in #protein 'cages'? Our #CryoEM study reveals their elegant mechanism of enzyme #compartmentalization. @MCB_UJ

A new study from the Glatt Lab @MCB_UJ shows that the rare tRNA modification queuosine is added before RNA splicing — not after! 🧬

@GrudnikPgrudnik @NCN_PL @JagiellonskiUni Congratulations!!

[Alena Khmelinskaia @khmelinskaia]

Now online and just in time for WRCon! It was a great journey with a fantastic team across boarders that survived several moves. A big thank you to all involved, and a special shoutout to Neil @KingLabIPD and the @akhmelinlab 🧵 to come…

.@KoziejLukasz et al @GroupAzuma @MCB_UJ show how a pentameric protein can controllably assemble into #nonquasiequivalent, hollow spherical and cylindrical #proteincages with defined #geometries

Are you disappointed or frustrated by seeing your #recombinantproteins are truncated or degraded? Here, we have a solution. Encapsidic protein production is now available @biorxiv_bioeng.

thrilled to share the molecular mechanism and the geometrical theory underlying the dynamic, polymorphic assembly of pentamer-based #proteincages and #proteinnanotubes, now published in @acsnano. @MCB_UJ @UniOfYork @CPBM_heddlelab https://t.co/OBDRrQvbrY

#newpaper
Excited to share our latest paper in collaboration with @CPBM_heddlelab : engineered protein cages that self-assemble with metal ions and disassemble on demand with triggers like pH changes. Perfect for advanced drug delivery and biomedical innovation. 🚀🧬 Congrats!
