We are hiring!!🧬
Two #PhD and one #MSc student positions with exceptional remuneration are open in our lab @MCB_UJ in #Krakow. Using engineered #ProteinCages as #SyntheticBiology platforms, we investigate how #Viruses package #NucleicAcids. azumag.com/open-positions
It was our pleasure to host Hualin Li @lhlshivarye, an #ExchangeStudent from @NaohiroTerasaka group @sciencetokyo_ja, for 2 months of specialized #cryoEM data analysis. Thank you for the wonderful time, Hualin — all the best with your PhD! 🇯🇵 @MCB_UJ
We are hiring! 🧬 A #Postdoc position is open in our lab @MCB_UJ in #Krakow. We use #VirusMimetic #ProteinCages to investigate #RNAProcessing in cells. Details at azumag.com/open-positions, praca.bip.uj.edu.pl/stanowis…
🎉 Our lab has been awarded a new NCN funding! We're engineering bacterial #proteincages into programmable nanocarriers for #RNA packaging and sampling. Recruiting 2 #PhDstudents and 1 #postdoc. Get in touch! azumag.com/open-positions #SyntheticBiology #AcademicJobs
Our new paper is out @NatureComms🎉Mushrooms are a good source of #VitaminB2, but did you know some bacteria produce the same nutrient in #protein 'cages'? Our #CryoEM study reveals their elegant mechanism of enzyme #compartmentalization. @MCB_UJ

A new study from the Glatt Lab @MCB_UJ shows that the rare tRNA modification queuosine is added before RNA splicing — not after! 🧬

Finally out🎉 We've established a robust and customizable system for otherwise troublesome #RecombinantProtein production. Our #ProteinCage-based method can be a game-changer for your lab work. Check it out>> pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti… #SyntheticBiology #PeptideTherapeutics @MCB_UJ
4 days of intensive scientific discussion, supplemented with good food and wine, at a beautiful coast-side village in Cataluna. #EMBOPhysicalVirology @EMBOevents @EMBO @FEBSnews

Now online and just in time for WRCon! It was a great journey with a fantastic team across boarders that survived several moves. A big thank you to all involved, and a special shoutout to Neil @KingLabIPD and the @akhmelinlab 🧵 to come…

.@KoziejLukasz et al @GroupAzuma @MCB_UJ show how a pentameric protein can controllably assemble into #nonquasiequivalent, hollow spherical and cylindrical #proteincages with defined #geometries
Read it here 🔗 go.acs.org/cke
Are you disappointed or frustrated by seeing your #recombinantproteins are truncated or degraded? Here, we have a solution. Encapsidic protein production is now available @biorxiv_bioeng.

thrilled to share the molecular mechanism and the geometrical theory underlying the dynamic, polymorphic assembly of pentamer-based #proteincages and #proteinnanotubes, now published in @acsnano. @MCB_UJ @UniOfYork @CPBM_heddlelab pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

#newpaper
Excited to share our latest paper in collaboration with @CPBM_heddlelab : engineered protein cages that self-assemble with metal ions and disassemble on demand with triggers like pH changes. Perfect for advanced drug delivery and biomedical innovation. 🚀🧬 Congrats!
Lovely 😍 This is what I, Yusuke, found on my desk after the habilitation colloquium. @MCB_UJ – at Krakow, Poland
Finally!! Here, we show how pentameric proteins dynamically and controllably assemble into diverse hollow structures, including unique #nanotubes. #cryoEM #nonquasiequivalent #proteincage #bionanotechnology @MCB biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
