Congratulations to Dr. Maria Micheva on defending her PhD thesis!
Within the CRC1450 Insight, she developed an innovative optical, minimally invasive platform for real-time sensing of temperature and oxygen in cell culture. Her methods allow for long-term, high-res sensing without cell disruption

Congratulations to Dr. Xueqing Zhang on successfully defending her PhD thesis!
She investigated protein corona formation on NPs & its cellular interactions revealing how pre-conditioning NPs can guide corona formation. The findings provide insights into designing improved NP-based delivery systems.

Ina Tutzschky spent 3 weeks @cvrinfo.bsky.social working with our former PhD student to Iain Harley.
Ina learned about #CryoEM and tomography software tools to apply to NMs here at @mpip-mainz.mpg.de for her PhD project.
Thank you to the CVR team and Iain for the fruitful exchange.

Great days for the ArTCell project at the @mpip-mainz.mpg.de in Mainz!
We kicked off our meeting with a warm gathering at Eulchen in Mainz, and continued with productive discussions and exchange of results. It is wonderful to see how our artificial cell is steadily taking shape.

For two days, we had now our group leader retreat from the AK Landfester in the Gonsbergloft. Two days of effective discussions and planning of our next research steps, our group strategy, our website and many more. It was a fantastic atmosphere in a great environment.

🌍✨ Science in the city!
At the 23rd Mainz Science Market we brought research to life – from a nanocapsule role play for school classes to hands-on PET recycling and bioplastics experiments. A fantastic weekend to spark curiosity in young and old alike.
Big thanks to everyone who made it possible! 🙌

Unusual temperatures require unusual formats for the department seminar. That's why we simply held our seminar outside. In the shade and with a little wind, it was very bearable. What a wonderful atmosphere! Why not give it a try!

Many families came to the Science Day.
The children's university, speed dating, and guided tours appealed to everyone who wanted to know more about polymers.
On stage, many children helped bake the Black Forest gateau and at the speed dating event they were able to ask questions to researchers.
