Membrane biochemist @mpicbg with a strong affection for solute carriers and their transport mechanisms. Dreams big about nanobodies. Will one day own a herd.

24 yrs ago, Roger Tsien et al introduced the first fluorescent biosensors based on #GFP. Today, we introduce the first acoustic biosensors based on #gasvesicles. Now it's possible to image the action of specific molecules (enzymes) in the body w/ultrasound nature.com/articles/s41589-0…

Our faculty has 10% female and 90% male members, the SFB807 has 9% female PIs. 60% of all PIs present at Renae's talk were women. I guess we still have a long way to go @goetheuni to fix our gender equity... Thanks for an inspiring talk @renaemryan1!
