We are delighted to announce our first SFB 1381 symposium ““Dynamic organization of cellular protein machineries“, which will be held from March 9-11, 2022 in Freiburg.

SFB 1381 PI Nora Vögtle participated in the Scientific Career Symposium “The Academic Road” where she talked about both her research and her academic career. This event gave young scientists the opportunity to get to know academic career paths.

The SFB PI Sonja Albers (project A1) and the Young Investigator Grantee Sascha Yousefi (project YIG2) are presenting their work to the public in the frame of the Pint of Science Germany Festival. Attendance is free of charge.

On the 8th and 9th of March 2021 all SFB researchers met virtually for the annual retreat. Although we could not meet in person, the meeting was a great success. Thanks to all participants for their excellent contributions!

On the 8th and 9th of March 2021 the SFB Principal and Associated Investigators, Postdocs and PhD students meet virtually for their annual retreat.
