Andor Acadamy - workshop on Dragonfly confocal and Imaris (14.09.2018)

Welcome to a 2-days workshop 17.-18. Oct. with the Andor Academy team and Bitplane (Imaris) representatives.

Structure of the memory regulator Arc (26.08.2018)

The post-synaptic protein Arc has been termed a master regulator of memory. In line with its homology to certain viral proteins, it has also been shown recently to form virus-like capsids. We have elucidated for the first time the 3D structure of full-length monomeric Arc.

Andor Dragonfly confocal in house and ready to use. (09.08.2018)

Thanks to funding from the Faculty of Medicine MIC recently got a new confocal in house. It was installed before summer and is ready to use.

Early Stage Researcher Seminar - Henriette Ertsås (01.11.2017)

Early Stage Researcher Seminar - Maria Steene Eriksen (31.10.2017)

Crystal plate imaging system installed (20.10.2017)

A state-of-the-art imaging system for high-throughput crystallization experiments has been installed at BiSS at the Department of Biomedicine. The system is capable of imaging samples using both visible and UV light. The imager is a significant addition to the crystallization laboratory as well as BiSS, providing a seamless workflow from the Mosquito LCP pipetting robot to automated imaging. It... Read more

Workshop in Structural Bioinformatics (11.10.2017)

The Workshop in Applied Structural Bioinformatics will be organized at the University of Bergen October 16-20. This workshop will provide a practical introduction to popular tools for biomolecular visualisation, analysis and simulations. Lectures will be given by both international and local speakers from the research fields of structural bioinformatics and computer-aided drug design.

Early Stage Researcher Seminar (23.08.2017)

An SH3 domain like no other at the post-synaptic density (27.06.2017)

The Shank family of proteins functions as a molecular scaffold in the neuronal post-synaptic density, enabling numerous protein-protein interactions. Shanks are large multi-domain molecules, and one of the conserved domains is an SH3 domain. Using high-resolution X-ray crystallography, we show that the SH3 domain in the Shank family has lost its canonical ligand-binding site.

Pluvia attracts interest from new governmental seed funding (24.03.2017)

Sarsia Seed recently announced their new seed funds in Bergen consisting of 300 million NOK. Initial investment can be in the biotechnology company Pluvia founded by Prof. Aurora Martinez according to Sarsia officials.

13th MIC Confocal Microscopy Course (31.01.2017)

European Molecular Imaging Meeting - EMIM 2017 (25.01.2017)

Interesting meeting in Molecular Imaging in Cologne, Germany, 05-07.04.2017

Unraveling the mysteries of myelin maturation (25.01.2017)

The molecular processes of myelin maturation are to a large extent still unknown. A coordinated interplay between regulatory and functional molecules must take place for correct timing of myelin membrane apposition and compaction, such that cytoplasmic channels are also formed in a correct way.

2 in 1 - microscopy and nanoscopy - Confocal and STED (06.01.2017)

A new system for confocal and super-resolution imaging avalible at MIC.
