We are delighted to welcome Prof. Prof. Sergio Rasmann from the University of Neuchâtel for the first seminar of the autumn semester. #unifrbiology #seminar #biologyseminar #fribourg

In the Geislerlab, we explore how plants move auxin, a signal that guides their growth and movements. This process is provided by specific transport proteins. By studying them, we not only learn how plants grow but might also gain insights that could help improve cancer treatments. #meetthelab

Saving a species but at the expense of others? Three researchers from the Department of Biology at the University of Fribourg have demonstrated that reintroducing large herbivorous mammals into regions outside their natural range is not such a good idea. https://www.nature.com/ncomms/ #unifrbiology

Computer-assisted worm tracking: turning complex behaviors into objective quantitative metrics. #unifrbiology #biology #unifr #fribourg #switzerland #meethelab

🔥 Meet the Glauser Lab! We ask how animals sense danger & protect themselves. With tiny worms (just 302 neurons, yet sharing half our genes!) we explore how brains react to heat, how experience changes responses, and how this can inspire new ways to treat human pain. #unifrbiology #biology #fribourg

The worm heat-detector! Like in human, specialized sensory neurons detect high temperatures to trigger avoidance behaviors. #unifrbiology #biology #meetthelab #fribourg_switzerland #neuron

🤩 The Department of Biology is proud to announce that Prof. Sven Bacher has participated in a fascinating Swedish documentary on invasive species. Be sure to check it out! (Prof. Bacher's speech at 33 minutes and 10 seconds + 55 minutes and 55 seconds) www.svtplay.se/video/j16G1W...

A particular species of Drosophila prefers the noni fruit also called “vomit fruit” over more commonly appealing options (bananas, grapes, apples). Why? @tomtom-auer.bsky.social and his colleagues has an answer: prelights.biologists.com/highlights/e... #chemoreception #drosophila #fruitfly #taste

🤩We are very pleased to announce that our apprentice Mr Cyril Defferrard won the prize for best apprentice in the Canton of Fribourg for chemistry and biology laboratory technicians, with an excellent average of 5.9. The Department of Biology warmly congratulates him on his successful achievement.
