Our group was awarded a RiseUp! grant of the Böhringer Ingelheim Foundation 🙏🎉 We're thus looking for 2 Doctoral Researchers to find with us new ways to light-regulate enzyme function: www.uni-goettingen.de/de/644546.ht... Special thanks to the team for building the foundation of the project💡🙏

🚀 Just published! In PhD work by first author Dongchen Du, we’ve developed a simple, byproduct-free labeling strategy using imidazopyridinium dyes formed in situ from isoquinolines! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... #Fluorescence #Bioconjugation #ChemicalBiology #InSituLabeling

New preprint out! In this study, we introduce NanoFLex, a strategy that combines #HaloTag variants with #nanobodies -based immunolabeling to enable rapid, OneStep-IF #lifetime #multiplexing. Possible due to SmartSecondaries fused to #HaloTag from @nanotag.bsky.social: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
