In February, two of our manuscripts have been accepted for publication! "Tissue-specific roles of peroxisomes revealed by expression meta-analysis" by Matthias, Leonie, Julia and Sven.
Today, "Systematic and quantitative analysis of stop codon readthrough in Rett syndrome nonsense mutations" has been accepted for publication. The paper is authored by Dennis, Julia and Sven in collaboration Göttingen MD students Lina and Adrian and with Rina Arbesfeld from Tel Aviv. Thanks to all contributors! Time for some refreshments.
December 7th 2023:
We celebrate our Christmas party in the R2 building. Lots of homemade treats, appropriate music and, of course, a Christmas tree! The annual highlight, however, was our notorious "Oddity Secret Santa".
September 4th 2023:
Group excursion! Canoeing in perfect weather from Bad Oyenhausen - 13 km to Porta Westfalica. Along the way, we mastered rapids, spotted a wide variety of birds and enjoyed the tranquility of nature. At the end of the day, we stopped off at Finca Barcelona for food and drinks.
August 7th to 10th 2023:
FINALLY! Our long-awaited and long-prepared for lab relocation to the newly opened R2 building on Morgenbreede 3. With the active support of everyone (and a moving company) the entire laboratory equipment went a few 100 meters from R1 to our new headquarters on 3rd floor of R2 within in three days. Come visit us in our pretty, fancy, modern just beautiful laboratory space!
September 22nd to 24th 2022:
Julia and Sven traveled to Aveiro, Portugal, to exchange ideas with the peroxisome community at the 8th Open European Peroxisome Meeting (OEPM). Julia presented on calcium in peroxisomes.
September 14th to 16th 2022:
Dennis, Anna and Sven attended the Molecular Basis of Life 2022 Conference in Düsseldorf. The GBM conference offers researchers a broad spectrum of scientific topics from the life sciences to network on: from synthetic biology and molecular cell biology to structural biology. Anna and Dennis presented posters on their PhD projects.
September 2nd 2022:
BCMM goes hiking! From Halle (Westfalen) a 20 km hike along the Hermannsweg back to Bielefeld. We passed many viewpoints in the Teutoburg Forest and thoroughly enjoyed the day out in nature. Eventually, we had a well-earned snack at Finca Barcelona.
May 9th to 12th 2022:
Matthias and Anne joined the EMBL symposium “Cellular mechanisms driven by phase separation” in Heidelberg during May 2022. The conference brought together scientists form cell biology to physics, reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of the field, to discuss condensates in biology and disease.
