#SFB1638
As part of @sfb1638.bsky.social in 𝐌𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠, we are committed to developing computational tools that make complex membrane simulations more accessible, reproducible, and scalable for the scientific community.

Today, we are happy to share the public release of 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐌𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫 v1.2.1

Lovely start into our new #SFB1638 on cellular membrane remodeling with a two-day kick-off meeting at the International Academic Forum Heidelberg (IWH). Many thanks to our speaker @meineckelab.bsky.social and team for the great organization.

🚨 First lipid paper of the year! 🚨

Combining neutron reflectometry and MD simulations, we show how α-fetoprotein interacts with lipid membranes, depending on composition, with implications for biomarker detection and biosensing!

Great start to 2026!
Congrats to the team! 🎉

Static structures are out. A new publication from the Ellenberg lab ( @ellenberglab.bsky.social, @embl.org , @sfb1638.bsky.social ) and Andrej Sali shows how integrative spatiotemporal modeling captures molecular motion in 4D, unlocking dynamic views of nuclear pore complex assembly.
