#TEAMTOMO

New preprint 🚀 ❄️
We developed Autogrid-compatible HPF planchettes that enable direct freezing of clipped EM grids and streamline integration with cryo-FIB workflows

✔️ improved grid stability
✔️ reduced handling
✔️ robust vitrification (🦠 🧫 🧠)
A step toward routine HPF for complex samples

Out now in Nature Communications!
We show that Dictyostelium vaults associate with ER and NE membranes in situ and encapsulate ribosomes with defined orientations, shining new light on their cellular function! #TeamTomo #TeamMassSpec #ProtistsOnSky

Thanks for the fun collaboration into this fascinating “oil eating” biomachine. I learned a lot! 🧪 #TeamTomo

Across scales from cells🦠 to atoms⚛️ – We reveal how anaerobic #bacteria break down very stable aromatic compounds found e.g. in oil spills 🛢️ #Bioremediation #TeamTomo 🧪 🧶🧬 🔬

Awesome collab with Lena, Matthias, @schullerjm.bsky.social @rnfr2d2.bsky.social @tomaspascoa.bsky.social @tamb-o.bsky.social

The cartwheel was first visualized ~70 years ago in the symbiont Trichonympha in the wood termite gut. We’ve discovered the cartwheel’s secret: a unique zigzag stacking of SAS-6 tetramers that facilitates the iconic 9-fold symmetry of cilia.

This is why I’m not allowed in the wet lab anymore 🥼 🕺. My technique is too effective! 🤪

#PILife #TeamTomo 🧪

Now THIS one was quite the journey. I'm beyond happy to see this work out in the world 🥹

Huge congrats to @computingcaitie.bsky.social and also to @hugovdhoek.bsky.social and everyone else involved ♥️

#Cilia #CryoET #TeamTomo

beautiful work on #teamTomo! and also many thanks for sharing our work on SPA

This is super impressive and interesting #TeamTomo work by @carter-lab.bsky.social. Congrats everyone!! 🧪 🧶🧬

Happy to share my first adventure in #TeamTomo in collaboration with the talented @inaharasimov.bsky.social. It was a fun experience experience with a lot of learning along the way.

Fun collaboration with the Herzik lab! Very cool to see #TeamTomo + STA directly capture the effects of the AWI at the single-particle level. we know it’s happening, but it’s striking to see it so clearly!

Julia Mahamid, Ph.D. – Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prizewinner 2026

Congratulations to Dr. Julia Mahamid on receiving the 2026 Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize! 🎉

Her pioneering work in cryo-ET is reshaping our understanding of how molecular architecture drives cellular processes and disease.

We're excited to announce the beta-release of #RELION-5.1! 🥳 This release has important updates on our #amyloid processing pipeline, as described in this preprint: doi.org/10.64898/202... There are also some tweaks for #teamtomo.

#OpenSoftwareAcceleratesScience

started using --𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐦𝐚_𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝟑 in RELION5 Refine3D and all of a sudden every subtomogram average goes to high resolution 🤯
#TeamTomo

This is a proud and exciting moment for me. Manon continues to redefine our understanding of pyrenoid biology, as she pushes the frontiers of #TeamTomo straight into the natural world around us 🌍🌊🌾🔬

Her new group at @gmivienna.bsky.social will explore fresh and impactful questions. Check it out! 🧪👩‍🔬

Excited to announce I’m starting a new lab at @gmivienna.bsky.social (Vienna BioCentre) in Sept 2026

We study how carbon fixation is inherited and maintained in algae using cryo-ET, imaging, environmental sampling&more

Looking for people who want to build the lab together, get in touch!

Updated architectural model of the NPC from our lab, starred by bsky-less Agnieszka Obarska-Kosińska. Using cryo ET, XL-MS and modeling, we identify novel nucleoporins, among those the mRNA export complex TREX-2! Check out the preprint on biorxiv #TeamMassSpec #TeamTomo

Not that I have allegiances but I'm rooting for Back to the Future Hair and #TeamTomo (is Tomo there? I don't care, I'm Team Tomo either way). Oh, and the course itself, always rooting for the course.
