A new cryo-EM study from Dominguez lab at @pennmuscle.bsky.social now reveals it all! @emoryuniversity.bsky.social09 Jun 2026 13:33 +0000at://did:plc:hamkjer7xqmfcree7wpjpafj/app.bsky.feed.post/3mnucqkrcws22https://bsky.app/profile/sshekhr.bsky.social/post/3mndah5rxps2zExciting news from the lab! 🎉 Ekram's presentation at the #APSMarchMeeting was selected for the DBIO Best Talk Award. A well-deserved recognition - and it comes with a stipend & lifetime bragging rights😉.
