EMBL Grenoble

EMBL welcomes its new Director General, Tony Hyman, who will take up the mandate of leading EMBL’s six sites as the organisation enters its next phase. Hyman, a group leader and visiting senior scientist at EMBL Heidelberg from 1993 to 1999, succeeds Interim Director Ewan Birney, who assumed leadership following the death of Interim Director General Peer Bork in January. Together, Bork and Birney had led the institution since former Director General Edith Heard moved to the Francis Crick Institute in London as its new Director and Chief Executive. “This is a moment when biology is changing rapidly,” said Hyman. “Advances in imaging, large-scale data generation, and artificial intelligence are reshaping how we study living systems. EMBL has played an important role in previous periods of change, and I look forward to working with colleagues across the organisation as it enters this next phase.” https://lnkd.in/dATD2DZR

Last chance to submit your application for the EMBO Practical Course 'Time-resolved macromolecular serial crystallography'! #EMBOTRSX Are you an early-career researchers with a background in structural biology and a strong interest in time-resolved methods, using X-rays and electrons Then this training is for you – we've extended the deadline until 12 April: s.embl.org/ser26-01-li The course will take place at EMBL Hamburg and will cover all aspects of time-resolved serial crystallography experiments, from data collection to electron density analysis.

“When Dr. Mathilde Richard contacted us about providing structural evidence to prove their hypothesis, we knew it would be challenging. But using all our experience, we were able to design a model viral RNA that allowed stalling of influenza polymerase in the unusual  ‘strangled’ configuration and to determine its remarkable structure by high-resolution cryo-electron microscopy.” – Stephen Cusack, EMBL Emeritus, former EMBL Grenoble Head of Site, and co-author of the publication. Congratulations on this new publication!
