So excited and grateful that @ERC_Research #ERCStG will fund my project RNA.ORG to investigate the molecular mechanisms that regulate mRNA localization in neurons! There will be positions opening soon so get in touch if you are interested! @FGA_lab @VUamsterdam
📣 The latest ERC Starting Grant competition results are out! 📣
494 bright minds awarded €780 million to fund research ideas at the frontiers of science.
Find out who, where & why 👉 europa.eu/!hrxyBp

APEX peroxidase is a versatile tool for proximity labeling and electron microscopy (EM) but its requirement for toxic H2O2 is a liability. We now report LaccID, a multicopper oxidase evolved from an ancestral fungal laccase that oxidizes aromatic substrates using non-toxic O2 instead of H2O2. We use LaccID for EM imaging of cultured cells and fly brains, and for proteomic mapping of the changing surface composition of T cells that engage with tumor cells via antigen-specific T cell receptors.

Beyond thrilled to present our O-MAP—now *published* @naturemethods (!!!)
O-MAP is a powerful new method for biochemically "dissecting" the subcellular microenvironment around an RNA of interest, using off-the-shelf parts and standard manipulations. 🧵
