New profile pic 📸 from our group retreat last week. It was great to be together in person and have the chance to discuss science and have fun!
Thanks to all group members involved in organising .. looking forward to the next one 🌟

[EMBL @embl]

On this day, 50 years ago, EMBL was established!

Today, we celebrate five decades of EMBL, fuelled by infinite curiosity. EMBL turns 50, and we’d like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who contributed to reaching this milestone!

#EMBL50

[EMBL @embl]

EMBL Hamburg scientists & collaborators at @UKEHamburg & @LeibnizFLI discovered a new molecular mechanism that may regulate cancer progression.

An unstructured protein disables cancer-promoting proteins by stacking and gluing them together.

[EMBL @embl]

EMBL Hamburg & @TUHamburg scientists have provided insights into heat-resistant enzymes found in an exotic microbe.

The findings can pave the way for future clean technologies and circular economy.

Farewell @kshbeckham, wishing you a successful future 🤩

[Kate Beckham @kshbeckham]

A big thank you to all of my amazing colleagues from @EMBLHamburg for making my final week @embl really special 🤩

A week filled with parties, presents and dinners🍻 🥳

Leaving with lots of happy memories 😀

[EMBL Hamburg @EMBLHamburg]

At today's seminar, our scientist Kate Beckham presented her research on how tuberculosis bacteria secrete substances.

It's her last week at EMBL Hamburg. She's starting her own group at @UniofNewcastle to study mycobacterial membrane proteins.

Good luck, Kate! We'll miss you!

[TeamSAXS @SaxsTeam]

So excited to be hosting our Solution #SAXS course again - in an all new format! Check out our great line of speakers for the online lecture series -- and come to Hamburg for an additional week of hands on beamline training! We look forward to your application!

[Structural Biology @ActaCrystD]

An approach used to detect sequence-register shifts in cryo-EM models of proteins can also be used to detect register shifts in crystal structure models, and five examples are described #MacromolecularCrystallography #RegisterShifts #FindMySequence https://t.co/ISXjQtJ8Xc

[Wilmanns Group @WilmannsGroup]

Come join us!

[Wilmanns Group @WilmannsGroup]

The platform will include establishment of a pipeline for high resolution structures of selected protein-drug complexes in microorganisms, and in-vitro analysis of the enzymatic processing of specific drugs.

[Wilmanns Group @WilmannsGroup]

Together with the @Zimmermann_Lab we have an ARISE fellowship position available on

✨Integrated structure and metabolomics platform for microbial targets ✨

Deadline September 30, 2023

More info :
Here we aim to establish a multidisciplinary metabolomics/structure service platform for determination of turnover mechanisms of specific drugs or prodrugs by different microorganisms.

Cheers to a great meeting #EESMicrobiology 🍻

So many great talks. Looking forward to the next one! ✨

[Grzegorz Chojnowski @ktototak]

Sequence assignment errors in #cryoEM and #MX protein models are easy to make, difficult to detect and correct.

Check out my latest publication for examples of errors in protein crystal structure models that #checkMySequence can help you fix.

We have several posters from the group at #EESMicrobiology 🌟
Come check out posters 77, 99, 138, 204 and 207 to hear more about how we are using structural biology to understand key processes in mycobacteria ✨

[Kate Beckham @kshbeckham]

Early start this morning for TeamTB this morning heading down to Heidelberg for #EESMicrobiology Looking forward to this meeting 🌟

[Wilmanns Group @WilmannsGroup]

This work has been done in collaboration with our colleagues at UKE. It has been an amazing journey of discovery for all of us.

[Wilmanns Group @WilmannsGroup]

Check out our newest submission to BioRxiv ✨

Here we show how an intrinsically disordered oncogene suppressor (RAI2) inactivates a master corepressor (CtBP) through SLiM-mediated polymerization, revealing a new mechanism of oncogenesis. ✨

We have made our popular M. smegmatis expression strain available at @BccmCollections ✨
We use this strain for the over-expression of His-tagged proteins in M. smeg https://t.co/zzRCFbnTQl

Ana joined our group as a trainee. If you're interested in doing a 6 month - 1 year placement in our group, get in touch :)

[EMBL Hamburg @EMBLHamburg]

Meet Ana Moura from 🇵🇹, trainee at EMBL Hamburg.

She studies the molecular mechanism enabling tuberculosis bacteria to release compounds into their surrounding.

She is a fan of Sherlock Holmes. His approach to constructing a bigger picture from details inspires her in science.
