@GermanEmbassy German engineering is legendary... however their efficiency seems to #struggle with visa history and bureaucracy . 😅 Years of trusted travel somehow calculated into a shorter visa. Didn’t know the German upgrade system worked downwards. 🇩🇪🤷‍♂️

Thrilled to share our latest work now published in Nature Communications.
Here we determined the first structure of TcPOP by cryoEM and analysed its polyclonal and monoclonal antibody response to establish the parasite entry and control
Congratulations to @ivancampeotto and team

An exciting opportunity to start an independent position as a research fellow in protozoan parasitology at Christ's College, Cambridge and the Department of Pathology:

@ronnieo147 What an astonishing talent!

[Sagar Batra @RealSagarBatra]

@VictoriaBurge98 Amazing! 300mg is still a dream for many structure biologists :-)

[Sagar Batra @RealSagarBatra]

“What would you do if your sample don’t crystallise, you do SAXS!” (you do CryoEM too 🤫)

Always a pleasure giving a talk at #CCP4 Northern Structure Biology Meeting, 2024 at Newcastle Uni.

Special thanks to @VictoriaBurge98 for organising it so well. Cheers!

@LindorffLarsen Looks like it’s concentration dependent.

[Sagar Batra @RealSagarBatra]

Finding poetry in crystallography, absolutely impressive!

Poster 33 at ECM34: Let’s zoom in on small molecule single particle analysis in neglected tropical diseases, not crystals are the star here :-)

@WinterJody @MicrobioSoc Many congratulations @WinterJody

[Instruct-ERIC @instructhub]

Now that’s what we call an integrated structural biology community

[Sagar Batra @RealSagarBatra]

Honored to receive the fellowship award from @instructhub at the 2024 Structural Biology Conference in Cascais. Grateful for the recognition—and the stunning sunny seaside certainly made it memorable! 🌊🔬 #IBSBC

@VictoriaBurge98 Maybe the secret to crystallisation was in the kitchen all along 🙃

[Sagar Batra @RealSagarBatra]

Concluding the CCP-EM conference on a high note, Dr Chris Russo discusses capabilities of 100KeV microscopes followed by Dr. Peiyi Wang discusses improvements by CC and CS correctors, setting new standards!
Such compelling talks are not less than a motivation ✨🔬

@SjorsScheres @ivancampeotto Highly appreciate your time on the poster. Looking forward to further improving the dataset.

[Sagar Batra @RealSagarBatra]

From @SjorsScheres deep insights on advancements in RELION-5 to pushing the limits of high resolution reconstructions by @WahChiu1, and with many more impressive talks, the #CCPEM brought the best out of the best! 🌟🔬
Can’t wait for the day 3 of @ccp_em

Had a privilege of attending Astbury Conversation 2024 at the @UniversityLeeds - Each talk was a masterclass on it own, especially Arwen Pearson insightful talk on Ultra high resolution crystallography and Xiaowei Zhuang exceptional talk on super resolution Imaging of the brain.
