Josephine Botsch has joined the lab for 6 months from the University of Tuebingen, Germany for her master's thesis. Josie is familiar with using X-ray crystallography for protein structure elucidation and is now excited to learn more about cryo-EM.

We are delighted to welcome Travis Walton to the lab. Travis joins from Jack Szostak's lab at MGH, where he uncovered a novel chemical mechanism for nonenzymatic RNA polymerization. 

Today we say a sad goodbye to Adrian, who leaves for a great opportunity to work on developing the next generation of electron microscopes at Thermo Fisher. We wish him all the best. 

Our lab welcomes Shimi, who joins as a research associate.

A collaborative effort examining the evolution of the mitochondrial ribosome was published today in Molecular Biology & Evolution. The paper also made the cover with some beautiful artwork by Beata Mierzwa. 

Today we say farewell to Joshua David. Josh was the first member of the group and was instrumental in establishing the lab. We wish him the best of luck as he joins the Schwartz lab at MIT.

Delighted that Miao Gui has joined our lab from Tsinghua University where he studied viral surface proteins by cryo-EM.

Erica Sze-Tu joins the lab for 6 months from Northeastern Univerisity.  

Our News & Views piece on MicroED has been published in Nature. 

Sad to say goodbye to Griffin Rademacher, who returns to Northeastern University. During his time in the lab, Griffin made huge contributions to both wet and dry projects and will be sorely missed. We wish him all the best. 

Our paper with the Shao lab has been published in eLife. 

Somewhat unbelievably the lab has now been functional for 1 year! 

The lab is delighted that the IRRF has agreed to continue to fund our research for another year. We appreciate the continued support. 

Delighted that Griffin Rademacher has joined the lab for 6 months as part of his undergraduate course at Northeastern University. 

Check out our review on ribosomes and cryo-EM, written with Sichen Shao. 

The lab relocates from our shared space with Karen Adelman and Steve Blacklow to our newly renovated space in the C building. 

We're looking to hire a membrane-protein specialist. More details here. 

The lab renovations are gathering pace. See the photos.

Adrian Koh joins the lab from Bob Robinson's group at the Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology, Singapore. 

We're pleased that the E. Matilda Ziegler Foundation for the Blind, Inc. has agreed to fund our research for the next 3 years. 

Sandeep Singh joins the lab from William Cramer's group at Purdue University. 

The lab officially opens. Time to do some science. 

Josh David starts in the lab as a research assistant.

Val Leifer has joined the lab for the summer!

The lab seeks its first research assistant
