Happy holiday season everyone. Thanks to our wonderful team, colleagues, the many people behind the scene for an exciting year. Thanks also to the @dfg.de , @cibss.bsky.social , @sfb1453.bsky.social , @for5547.bsky.social , @hetcci.bsky.social, @erc.europa.eu and the tax payer for funding. 🐸🌲🍾

Exciting PhD opportunity in cell migration, developmental biology, and morphogenesis using #Drosophila 🧬 As a bonus, you’ll be joining the lab of one of the nicest, most enthusiastic, and truly supportive scientists out there 👇

Anthony A. Hyman will become EMBL’s next Director General. He joins EMBL from @mpi-cbg.de in Dresden. He is also Professor of Molecular Biology @tudresden.bsky.social, and was a group leader at EMBL Heidelberg from 1993 to 1999. www.embl.org/news/people-...

congratulations, Stefan (!) and colleagues. Huge achievement; looking forward to your next 4 years!

Thrilled to share "in situ APEX activation" (iAPEX), a proximity labeling technology for subcellular #proteomics applied to primary #cilia. iAPEX uses an enzymatic cascade, in which a D-amino acid oxidase locally produces H2O2 to activate ascorbate peroxidase. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I am happy to announce that my group has an opening for a funded PhD position to explore the intersection between mechanobiology and inflammation in the intestine. Please see the attached advertisement below. Thanks for circulating and forwarding! www.srcsb.uni-stuttgart.de/news/New-ope...

We had a good line up of speakers at the 50 years anniversary meeting of the german society of cell biology @dgz.bsky.social in Heidelberg. Tony gave the plenary, Koichiro talked about spatial control of P granules and Silja received a price for her Master thesis and gave a talk. Congratulations!
