Back from a fruitful #HetCCI kick-off meeting in Saarbruecken, filled with data and research concepts addressing heterotypic cell-cell interactions in epithelial tissues. Special thx to the young scientists who presented; looking forward to the next events and everybody’s findings! #SPP2493
Happy holiday season everyone.
Thanks to our wonderful team, colleagues, the many people behind the scene for an exciting year. Thanks also to the @dfg.de , @cibss.bsky.social , @sfb1453.bsky.social , @for5547.bsky.social , @hetcci.bsky.social, @erc.europa.eu and the tax payer for funding. 🐸🌲🍾
Exciting PhD opportunity in cell migration, developmental biology, and morphogenesis using #Drosophila 🧬
As a bonus, you’ll be joining the lab of one of the nicest, most enthusiastic, and truly supportive scientists out there 👇
Anthony A. Hyman will become EMBL’s next Director General.
He joins EMBL from @mpi-cbg.de in Dresden. He is also Professor of Molecular Biology @tudresden.bsky.social, and was a group leader at EMBL Heidelberg from 1993 to 1999.

congratulations, Stefan (!) and colleagues. Huge achievement; looking forward to your next 4 years!
Thrilled to share "in situ APEX activation" (iAPEX), a proximity labeling technology for subcellular #proteomics applied to primary #cilia. iAPEX uses an enzymatic cascade, in which a D-amino acid oxidase locally produces H2O2 to activate ascorbate peroxidase.
