We followed with a day packed with CryoEM! We heard about the cryoEM from Werner Kühlbrandt, STEM-EELs from Bonnie Murphy and CryoET from Martin Beck.

This morning we travelled into the fascinating world of neurons and synapses with Erin Schuman. We learnt how protein synthesis takes place in neuronal dendrites. 🧠

Ever thougth about pulling a protein apart? Nina Morgner shared how her group uses native mass spectrometry to explore protein structure.

A productive morning with Profs. Dötsch, García-Sáez and Helfrich! We learnt about transcription factors, cellular death and biosynthetic pathways. All before lunch time!

Great session with Melanie McDowell today!
She shared exciting insights into how proteins find their way into the ER.

Congratulations to Noemi Iwicki on being selected for the Max Planck Society’s ARTEMIS program! 👏 It supports early-career researchers through bilateral mentorship between MPIs and African institutions. 🌍 Noemi is looking forward to meeting Taona Emmah Mudhluli from Zimbabwe!

Organizing guest seminars lets you shape discussions and build connections. 💡 IMPRS-CBP student Ada Rivero hosted two and, despite the workload, found it rewarding.
➡️ Read about her favorite moments from the latest talk.

ALT Quote from PhD student Ada Rivero: Petra Schwille’s work explores fundamental questions that humanity has pondered for ages: What is life? How did it originate? Can we build it from scratch? That’s why I find her research topic so fascinating. Besides, I see great potential in synthetic cells. It was a pleasure to welcome her for a talk!
