New arrivals to the group
This semester Lena and Mergime joined us as master students. Welcome!
2nd price at scientific photography contest
Within a 4-weeks internship Mergime learns to reconstitute protein patterns and wins 2nd price of the scientific photography contest. Congratulations!
Biswaroop joins our group as a master student
Only a few days after his arrival he was already able to engineer micron-sized gel objects, such as the initials of our institute: MPL (Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light)
