• CONGRATULATIONS!!
  to Dr. Tilak Kumar Gupta for successfully defending his Ph.D. Thesis! [Jul 2020]

• Ricardo was profiled on the Helmholtz Pioneer Campus website.   [May 2020]

• "The Bavarian from Berkeley":  Ben was profiled on the Helmholtz national website.   [May 2020]

• Ricardo Righetto has joined our team! As our group's computational specialist, Ricardo will anchor our image analysis, while exploring new applications of deep learning to cryo-electron tomography. Despite the closed border, Ricardo and his wife successfully arrived from Basel, with a nice cruise across the Bodensee. Welcome to Munich!!    [Apr 2020]

• Published in eLife:
  ​A detailed view of the cell's solar panel. We show how to map photosynthetic complexes into native thylakoid architecture. Congrats Wojciech!   [Apr 2020]

• Congrats Hugo for giving a great talk at the <Interact>2020 Conference!   [Feb 2020]

• Ben had fun teaching (and learning!) at the the Vienna Cryo-EM Winter School.    [Feb 2020]

• Published in Science Advances: Our collaboration with the Guichard / Hamel Lab revealing the helical structure and molecular composition of an inner scaffold that holds the centriole together and helps it resist physical stresses.​ The inner scaffold is conserved in Paramecium, Chlamydomonas, Naegleria, and Humans!  [Feb 2020]

• Published in Plant, Cell & Environment: Our collaboration with the Schroda Lab characterizing the stress-induced  Chlamydomonas protein VIPP2, which forms rods and binds membranes.​ [Feb 2020]

• Published in PNAS: Proteasomes and Cdc48 cluster together in non-membrane-bound degradation microcompartments that directly contact specialized ribosome-free regions of the ER membrane. Is it ERAD by phase separation?​ [Jan 2020]

• ​Our Aquilos cryo-FIB is here.  What a great Christmas present!  #HugTheBox​ [Dec 2019]

• Published in MBoC: Our collaboration with the Avashti lab characterizing actin filaments in the green alga, Chlamydomonas.​ [Oct 2019]

• Ben gave an interview to announce that the Cell Architecture Lab will be moving to the Pioneer Campus at Helmholtz Zentrum München in November 2019. [Jul 2019]
