Our take on the struture of the R2T complex 🌱 Now out in @Structure_CP!

A fun collab led by @alopezperrote and the @AlabadiDavid lab at @IBMCP .

Check it out in the next post 👇

The γTuRC saga goes on!

This time, we used cryoEM to describe how CDK5RAP2 helps nucleating microtubules by activating the γTuRC nucleator.

Another tour de force led by @sernarina and Fabian Zimmermann and a fun collab with @LudersLab @IRBBarcelona.

Hi, we have uploaded a preprint on @bioRxiv_biochem that you may find interesting. It's the result of a fruitful collaboration (@IBMCP) with @LlorcaLab (@CNIOStopCancer) aimed at understanding the role of the HSP90 cochaperone R2T in plants.👇

[Llorca lab @LlorcaLab]

Double celebration today in the lab! 🎉

Today, our senior postdoc María I. Daudén received the "AECC researcher" grant, followed by our undergrad Celia Varela, also receiving the "AECC lab internship" grant. Proud of you!

@sernarina When your paper gets into @ScienceMagazine we take the red carpet out in the lab...

[Llorca lab @LlorcaLab]

PAPER ALERT🔥
We took a deep dive into the microtubule 🔍 using cryoEM ❄️🔬to capture the earliest steps of nucleation by the γTuRC complex. With @sernarina and @DeBritoClaudia leading the way.
Proud of our collab with the @surrey_lab at the @CRGenomica !

We are so incredibly proud of @sernarina. Not only is she a cryoEM powerhouse, but she's also a caring mentor and labmate. Definitely a role model. Thanks for your hard work 💕
