Well-invested startup funds – #HEPA air purifiers for all lecture halls & seminar rooms of our institute. As research has shown, air purifiers can be one puzzle piece in preventing the spread of airborne diseases, and increase the performance of students. #BildungAberSicher #IndoorAirQuality

Congratulations, Markus! PhD student #7 leaving the group – first of the “second gen PhD students” who started their work at the University of Halle. Well done, thanks for following up on the chemistry of the cyanobacterium A. hydrillicola and the discovery of the aetokthonostatins! #proudPI
