Hey Bluesky! Given that we are new here, we thought an introduction might be in place.

So, what is SciLifeLab? In short, we are a nonprofit research infrastructure based in Sweden, enabling life science research that would otherwise not be possible. 🧪🌍🖥️🧬
Today, we were honored to welcome Nobel laureate Stefan Hell 🧪

“I hear Stefan speak about his research once a year, and I’m always amazed how much has happened,” says SciLifeLab Director Jan Ellenberg.

Hell received the 2014 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

Cell surface remodeling caused by the loss of the flippase subunit TMEM30A in immune cells:
journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/...
Cell surface remodeling caused by the loss of the flippase subunit TMEM30A in immune cells
Summary: TMEM30A loss disrupts membrane lipid asymmetry, increasing phosphatidylserine exposure, membrane dynamics and surface remodeling, linking flippase dysfunction to immune cell interactions.

Despite the prize money, what most winners highlight each year is the week in Stockholm.

Here, they get to see the city during Nobel week and mingle with the laureates, get to see some cool instruments at SciLifeLab and meet with high-level researchers in their fields. 🧪
