It's out! Check out our new paper looking at how ester staining + ExM can be used to distinguish between different cellular components. Congrats Tom on all the hard work 👏🔬🦠
Are you a microscopist/biologist seeking new ways to visualise subcellular compartments? 🔬Our new paper in @nanoscale_rsc shows how fluorescent esters can give you valuable morphological insights into cellular architecture 🦠doi.org/10.1039/D3NR01129A (1/6)

It was my first "Seeing is Believing" meeting (#EESImaging) and it was just fantastic🤩 We had so much fun hearing all the great research and met awesome people!! I also want to thank @EMBO & @embl for the sponsorship which made it possible for me to present our #GenEPi work!🙏 – at Frankfurt on the Main, Germany

Anyone at the @BiophysicalSoc meeting today make sure you check out Tom's poster! Really interesting research investigating the diverse labelling patterns of amine-reactive dyes inside the cell🔬🇺🇲
First time attending @BiophysicalSoc annual meeting in San Diego. Will be presenting a poster Monday afternoon on sub-cellular compartment labelling with expansion microscopy and amine-reactive biomolecules. Come and say hi 😊 #bps2023

Our latest paper is out now in a cardiac special issue @RSocPublishing 🌟 ! We use X10 #expansionmicroscopy (ExM) to visualise 3D geometry of dyadic clusters of ryanodine receptor (RyR) calcium channels in heart cells. Read: royalsocietypublishing.org/d…

#MentalHealthDay may be coming to an end, but don't let that stop the conversation of mental health! The more we talk, the less these issues hold power over the individual. If you're struggling, reach out + talk to someone. Best thing I've done is opening up. #endthestigma

A bit of positivity for a Friday morning 🙌 Finally a new treatment for ALS gains FDA approval 👍 hoping for more good news to come...
#NEWS: We are thrilled to share that the @US_FDA has approved our new therapy. We’ve had the privilege of working closely with the broader community for nearly a decade and are grateful to all of those who continue to support our mission and our clinical programs.
