We welcome our new IMPRS-CBP PhD students! 🌍 We look forward to amazing science over the coming years. We wish you a fantastic start in Frankfurt and Mainz!! #imprs_cbp #phdlife #imprs2impress
That’s a wrap! Thanks to all speakers and participants for joining us on this week’s cellular biophysics journey. See you at next year’s #imprs_cbp symposium! 🎊✨
In the afternoon we dove into the computational world. From cryo-ET data processing with Beata Turonova to molecular simulations by Ramachandra Bhaskara, Gerhard Hummer, and Jürgen Köfinger. @goetheuni.bsky.social @mpibp.bsky.social #imprs #imprs_cbp
Another day full of science at the #imprs_cbp symposium! We heard from Eszter Lodinski on bacterial proteins linked to antibiotic resistance and Inga Hänelt on membrane transport proteins.
@goetheuni.bsky.social @mpibp.bsky.social
We welcome our new faculty member Ramachandra Bhaskara! His group uses simulations and modeling to study complex biological systems at the interface of biology, physics, and data science.
#imprs #imprs_cbp @goetheuni.bsky.social
Amazing week learning and discussing science! Thank you Florian Wilfling, Till Stephan and Alexandra Stolz for joining us! Looking forward to our last day on Monday! #imprs_cbp #phdlife
We’re excited to welcome our new faculty member, Till Stephan! He shared his group's research on mitochondrial architecture using fluorescence nanoscopy. @goetheuni.bsky.social
#imprs_cbp
And what better way to wrap up the day than with a poster session? Our current #imprs_cbp students shared their work and a beer or two while discussing science at the @mpibp.bsky.social 🍺 #phdlife #gradschool
This morning we travelled into the fascinating world of neurons and synapses with @erin-schuman.bsky.social. We learnt how protein synthesis takes place in neuronal dendrites. 🧠
