Our PhD student Leila Pourtalebijahromi has received her doctorate's certificate AND she received an award for the best thesis in pharmaceutical sciences at the natural sciences faculty @fau.de
Massive congrats, Leila - well deserved! 🎉🦠🔬

Today, we painted all corridors in our labs as a group effort with LOTS of help from others from the department biology @fau.de Thanks to @biomemphys.bsky.social @zaninlab.bsky.social, the cellbio and department admin for joining. It was a great effort with perfect result 🙏💪🍀

Eine großartige Aktion - endlich durfte ich einmal in der Mensa mithelfen, inklusive ganz grooooßer Gerätschaften! Großer Dank an meine Kollegen aus der Biologie und die sympathische Unterstützung vor Ort 🥕🧄🍲
