Awards and honors of our group leaders and members:

  • Congratulations to Prof. Dr. Lennart Randau (subproject D1) for publishing the Characterization of the self-targeting Type IV CRISPR interference system in Pseudomonas oleovorans in Nature Microbiology (doi: 10.1038/s41564-022-01229-2)

  • Congratulations to Dr. Anna Lena Jung (subproject B1) for being awarded a posterprize during the 2022 International Conference of the SFB-TR84: Innate Immunity of the lung (link). On the poster, results from her LOEWE Diffusible Signals subproject were presented.

  • We congratualate Prof. Dr. Dominik Heider (subproject A3) on the awarding of the Frauenförderpreis 2020.

    He was awarded for breaking down inhibitions about science subjects. For the promotion of women in the natural sciences, he launched the "Women in Science" programme, which aims to encourage female graduates to take the step towards research. In his own research group, Prof. Heider actively promotes the proportion of women. Both at the postdoc level and among doctoral students, this is 50%. The proportion of female staff is thus disproportionate.
