January 2024

Many congratulations to Dr. Manas Seal for receiving the FGS prize for outstanding achievements in postdoctoral research!! Well deserved!


December 2023

A new paper is out featuring Maria Oranges and Angeliki Giannoulis, Congrats!

Using EPR and concurrent techniques to monitor dimerization of hsp90 chaperone. Check it out at: 'C-terminal domain dimerization in yeast Hsp90 is moderately modulated by the other domains'.


A new book from RSC publishing is out, devoted to Integrated Structural Biology! Chapter 3 on EPR approaches was written by Daniella Goldfarb and Alexey Bogdanov, and it contains an introduction to the field of molecular biologists. Check it out: https://doi.org/10.1039/BK9781837670154-00077

Angeliki completed her postdoctoral tenure, and congratulations on her new position as a staff scientist in Prof. Lucio Frydman's lab, Weizmann Institute of Science.


Many congratulations to Angeliki, and Yasmin for the exciting review article on 'Characteristics of Gd(III) spin labels for the study of protein conformations' in Methods in Enzymology.


Double congratulations to Thorsten for his two articles 'Substrate binding in the multidrug transporter MdfA in detergent solution and in lipid nanodiscs' in Biophysical Journal and 'The decay of the refocused Hahn echo in DEER experiments' in Magnetic Resonance.


Post-doctoral positions available in the Goldfarb lab at the Weizmann Institute of Science

Hurry up!! two post-doc positions are available in the Goldfarb group. Visit the above link for details.


March 2022

Welcome Mr. Ciarán Rogers from the University of Manchester, for his short-term visit.


August 2020

Welcome, Maria!

Maria Oranges from Bela Bode's group has joined as a postdoc. Congratulations on being part of our dynamic team.


Good news, good news!

Congratulations to Daniella for being elected International EPR Society (IES) Fellow 2020 with David Britt.


Many congratulations also to our Angeliki for receiving the 2020 Albert-Overhauser Award of the GDCh Division of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy of the German Chemical Society (GDCh) for her recent article 'Two closed ATP- and ADP-dependent conformations in yeast Hsp90 chaperone detected by Mn(II) EPR spectroscopic techniques'.  It's time for a double celebration.


12/08/2020

We are happy to share our new publication in PNAS 'In-cell destabilization of a homodimeric protein complex detected by DEER spectroscopy'.  It highlights the potential of DEER for in-cell study of proteins as well as the complexities of the effects of the cellular milieu on protein structures and stability. Many congratulations to Yin and the team.


31/05/2020

We are back to buisness after Corona and Daniella is online with Lewis Kay on 4th June in a lecture series on "Emerging Topics in Biomolecular magnetic Resonance". Don't miss the exciting lecture on Mn(II) DEER to track two closed conformation in yeast HSP90.


24/12/2019

Our Thorsten is on the way to be Dr. Thorsten. We are in a celebratory mood.


Congratulations to our Angeliki and team! Her work on HSP90 is in the news. Follow it on ynet and Weizmann Wonder Wander. Cheers!!
