Proud of Ane and all lab members who helped build the Abrescia Lab over 18 years at CIC bioGUNE - putting Structural Virology in the Basque Country on the international map. Grateful for the journey. Time to move forward. Stay tuned!

Excited to attend the #ESRFUserMeeting2026, present our virus research at UDM3, and finally catching up with Radu - 18 years after leaving STRUBI-Oxford!!
So structural biology is not dead after all 😋 Not a big surprise The title of this article is exactly in line with what I think.
Same applies to LLMs for scientific writing.
This summer me, as part of @cansuit.bsky.social , was involved in the First Brazilian Symposium on Viruses of Microorganisms. Nice to see VoM research growing in South America!

A flurry of snowflakes with text reading 'Virus Snowflakes: a collection of paper art viruses by Ed Hutchinson - Download now!' along with the logo of the MRC-University of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research
If you'd like to celebrate the biology of viruses - or the fight against viral diseases - this winter, try out our free and updated #VirusSnowflake designs.
Please share, and if you have any photos of Virus Snowflakes in your area it would be lovely to see them!

Starting January 2026, the Abrescia Lab will move to the Biofisika Institute and maintain operations at bioGUNE until 2028 when the EU InFlame grant ends.
Stay tuned for updates!
Science that serves #5years #EBS
On 25 August 2025, the ESRF marks five years since the Extremely Brilliant Source (ESRF-EBS), a revolutionary new high-energy synchrotron, began operation: 5 years of science.

Fantastic news! Happy to see CICbioGUNE & BREM within InstructERIC. Feels like yesterday we pushed for a state-of-the-art cryo-EM facility in the Basque Country www.deia.eus/opinion/trib... and here we are
Thanks to all who have made this possible!

Titan krios I (a 300 KeV Cryo transmission electron microscope) with its 10 yr birthday hat in the experimental hall of Diamond Light Source.
krios 1 @diamondlightsource.bsky.social celebrated 10 years of user operations last week - many people thought we were mad to plonk it down in this spot in the synchrotron …but its still there as we ended up with a lot more in a very small space of time !
Irati, our PhD student, in action at the Phage & Virus Assembly Meeting 2025 (US) delivering a flash talk!
….the Abrescia Lab committed to train and promote early-career researchers!!

Want to hear about Finland's first giant virus?
@gabrielmfa.bsky.social did an excellent interview for a podcast episode in The Naked Scientist 🧪🦠

Measles causes more than an acute illness: it suppresses immune memory and increases the risk of complications for years.
Even in a typical case of measles, children who survive the infection recover slowly.
Curious about the real poster? Meet Irati at pvaconference.wixsite.com/pva2025 in the US!
...and find out how cryo-EM sheds light on complex biological systems thriving in our biosphere
