Structural biology techniques such as X-ray crystallography, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and cryo-electron microscopy single-particle analysis (cryo-EM SPA) provide unique insights into the molecular mechanisms of biological processes and accelerate structure-based drug discovery. For this, high-resolution structures of biological molecules are obtained from in vitro purified biomolecules purified in vitro, making it difficult to study macromolecular complexes or subcellular compartments in their native environment.

Janna Nawroth will give a talk at the Microphysiological Systems World Summit in Berlin and at the School of Physics in Les Houces.

Johannes Wirth, Ph.D. student in the laboratory of Matthias Meier at the Helmholtz Pioneer Campus developed an advanced workflow providing a multiplexing method for ST paired with high-quality imaging (called xDBiT), thereby significantly advancing the  DBiT-seq method.

We are honoured to announce Prof. Dr. Fabian Theis as new Director for Biomedical AI @Helmholtz Pioneer Campus – and used this opportunity for a short interview with the new Director.

It hence gives us all extreme pleasure to announce and sincerely congratulate the first-ever Helmholtz Pioneer Campus PhD-graduate Sandra Wiedenmann, bioengineer, biologist and self-made bioinformatician from the BioEngineering and Microfluidics lab of Prof. Matthias Meier.

We can use graphs to represent elements (or nodes) that share connections (or edges); human society leverages this data structure every day, for example by using Google Search, GPS, or social media.

Lara Urban receives the 2022 academics ‘Young Investigator of the Year’ award for her lasting positive impact on science and research through outstanding commitment.

Original scientific articles remain one, if not the major ‚currency‘ in every academic career. The ever increasing complexity of research, combined with exponentially growing numbers of papers require new formats to identify, highlight and appropriately communicate outstanding and significant advances in science – and in an easy accessible, freely to share/useable format!

Fostering interdepartmental and cross-institutional research - congrats to Boyan Bonev for his ERC Consolidator Grant to understand the regulatory logic of lineage specification in the developing cortex.

We are delighted to announce and warmly welcome Dr. Marion Jasnin as new Principal Investigator at the Helmholtz Pioneer Campus.
