Check out the enticing and diverse Scientific Program of #SMASH2024 (Burlington, VT, USA - September 15-18, 2024) put together by @tkfarley1 Kathleen Farley and myself, the Program Chairs. We've assembled seven sessions, two workshops, led by 17 speakers. smashnmr.org


An enormous thank you to my fantastic team, co-workers, collaborators and the European Union for making this possible , and my Kids Magdalena and Maximilian for their inspiration. dzne.de/en/news/press-…

This is a major milestone for the diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer’s. The ptau-217 blood test is shown to be as accurate as CSF and PET, making diagnosis far more accessible. And detecting AD before observable symptoms will enable much earlier intervention.


Very much looking forward to this exciting meeting!

We are very happy to announce our symposium on #bimolecular #condensates - June 11 in Copenhagen. Presentations by Alex Büll, @Jonathon_Ditlev, Mingjie Zhang, @ProteinMagnus, @mz_science and Michael Wagner @dewpoint_tx



Pat, did you get my email?

Big step forward in addressing the brain health of our seniors. 400,000 additional mental health professionals will be available to Medicare patients as a result of this policy change. washingtonpost.com/health/2023/10…

Congratulations Samrat!

I'm honored and humbled to be awarded the JC Bose Fellowship which will allow us to diversify and venture into the unchartered territory of condensate biology. I'm incredibly grateful to my institute, students, colleagues, well-wishers, and my family for their unwavering support.

Dear international students and talents from around the world, note that German universities welcome foreign students, are tuition free and many subjects are taught in English. Germany has become an open and liberal society in contrast to what the UK government is implementing.

From today, the majority of foreign university students cannot bring family members to the UK. In 2024, we’re already delivering for the British people.

Thanks Sjors. This is how good we could get the structure with the available data.

Good point. We see (i) that GSK3b phosphorylation accelerates aging of tau condensates and (ii) fibrils of unphosphorylated tau have a different morphology, suggesting that the GSK3b phosphorylation is critical.

This sounds very cool! How do you determine whether its the phase separation or the phosphorylation that enhances aggregation and dictates folding pathway?

Tina Ukmar-Godec and coworkers from my lab show in a collaboration with the @fischle_lab that phase separation of human HP1alpha is not necessary to compact chromatin

Check out our latest paper in PNAS titled "Multimodal Interactions Drive Chromatin Phase Separation and compaction". A fruitful collaboration between @mz_science and @fischle_lab 😃 doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…

Vielen Dank for the speech, rooted in knowledge and striking a well-balanced yet comprehensive, clear and empathetic tone. Such leadership gives hope for a unified stance among all nationalities to renounce hatred and embrace the greater good.

It's almost four weeks since the horrific terrorist attack on #Israel. A lot has happened, the public debate has become heated and confused. Find thoughts from Vice-Chancellor Robert #Habeck in the video, putting the events in context. 📣With English, Hebrew and Arabic subtitles.

Saddened to hear of the passing of Tony Keller aged 86, a pioneer in NMR technology and former director of @bruker and co-CEO of Bruker BioSpin. Tony was a great supporter and friend to many in the #NMR field and we will miss him. #biophysics #chemistry bruker.com/en/news-and-ev…

Acetylation fuels aggregation of three-repeat tau yet slows that of four-repeat tau. Why? Acetylated lysines in a segment unique to 4R tau disrupt fibril cores. @DZNE_en ow.ly/bbRK50PUbkb
