I’m looking for a postdoc to join my team under a recently funded ERC Starting Grant.
If you’re passionate about structural #virology and have experience in #cryoEM SPA and/or #cryoET, get in touch!
Deadline: January 19th.
Please share 🙏

SPACEtomo v1.2 is online! https://t.co/3GO6qP9Z07
- Improved GUIs for lamella detection, target selection and CLEM registration make it the best target selection workflow for PACEtomo on any kind of lamella sample.
- Easier installation and configuration
Any feedback welcome!
I’m delighted to be among this year’s recipients of the ERC Starting Grant! This funding will allow my group to take a deep dive into the replication and assembly mechanisms of positive-strand RNA viruses. I'm particularly excited to expand our in situ #cryoET capabilities!
How can you convince a coronavirus to share its cell entry secrets?
Give it something sweet! 🍬
Using #cryoEM & MD, we show how a sugar-based receptor binds to the HKU1 spike and triggers opening via an allosteric mechanism (🧵).

And it's out! Check out our paper in @Nature on the human coronavirus HKU1 spike binding to a sialoglycan receptor, leading to spike opening via large conformational changes.
Massive thanks to @DanielHurdiss, @raouljdegroot and all co-authors!

🔬Onderzoekers van @UtrechtVirologie @DanielHurdiss hebben een vernuftig mechanisme ontdekt waarmee spike-eiwitten van het coronavirus worden geactiveerd om gastheercellen binnen te dringen. Het onderzoek is gepubliceerd in @Nature. Meer informatie: https://t.co/w7E67vpU2r
Exciting News 🎉
Our discovery, revealing that a primary sugar-based receptor can trigger the opening of the HKU1 spike, is now online at @Nature!

Our #TeamTomo wunderkind @BobCoelingh had a go at making some @SchurLab cell culture grid holders!
