With support from EMBL services, secondary school students Misha Hegde and Mia Maurer have identified a previously unknown bacteriophage that targets Rhizobium rhizogenes, a pathogen harming crops. 👏 Using cutting-edge imaging and DNA sequencing at EMBL Heidelberg, they are exploring its potential as a natural alternative to antibiotics in agriculture. Their passion for science is inspiring – proof that the next big breakthrough can come from the next generation! 🚀🔬 https://lnkd.in/egFX7Mc5

Ever wondered how cells regulate the molecular traffic in and out of their nuclei? New research from Texas A&M University, supported by MINFLUX experts from the EMBL Imaging Centre, is helping uncover how molecules navigate the nuclear pore complex (NPC), a giant molecular machine that regulates molecular traffic across the nuclear membrane. https://lnkd.in/ePrfjgAc

Archives connect us to our past, fostering reflection, and inspiring us to build a better future. 🎞️ While archiving and records management are often overlooked, from an institutional perspective, preserving this memory is essential, since it is core evidence of an organisation’s activities, knowledge, and expertise. 🗯️ As the new EMBL archivists say: an organisation with no past has no future. Discover more about the importance of archiving and record-keeping, while meeting the two EMBL archivists, Alexander Barrington and Miten M.: https://lnkd.in/dpNKmR2k
