🎉👏 A huge thank you to everyone who joined our Annual Retreat! Over three inspiring days, more than 100 colleagues from 16 Research Projects and 4 Service Projects filled the rooms with ideas, data, and great discussions. Here’s to another year of discovery and collaboration! 🚀

What an amazing crowd we had at the recent SPP2191 & SFB1551 joint retreat at Basecamp Bonn!
We can’t wait to see everyone again in September at the GBM Compact: Focus on Condensate Biology & the SPP2191 Satellite Meeting in Frankfurt. Early registration ends today!

It was a pleasure to host Prof. Dr. Paolo Arosio from @ethzurich.bsky.social, who gave a fascinating talk on "Engineering Enzymatic Reactions and Protein Aggregation with Biomolecular Condensates." #BiomolecularCondensates #PhaseSeparation #EnzymaticReactions #ProteinAggregation

Congratulations to Dr. Philipp Schönberger! We are proud to announce that Philipp is the 1st fully-funded graduate of the SFB1551 IRTG IPP program. Philipp focused on exploring the polymeric functions of ubiquitin and SUMO in protein phase separation at Helle Ulrich's Lab at @imbmainz.bsky.social

Yesterday, we had the pleasure of hosting Sam Wilken from the UC Santa Barbara. It was a full house, with an eager audience excited to learn about Quantifying Biophysical Phenomena: Image Analysis Techniques for Fluorescent Microscopy. Thank you, Sam, for sharing your insights and expertise!

We are excited to announce that Michael te Vrugt just joined the SFB1551 as fully funded member with project entitled “Nucleation dynamics in field theories for intracellular phase separation” Congratulations!!! 🎉🎉🎉
