Congratulations! After a solemn appointment ceremony Katja is now counted among the members of the Saxon Academy of Sciences and Humanities in Leipzig.

After having moved the offices already in 2024. Our labs are finally migrating into the 5th story of the brand new UFZ building 7.3.

Our newest review “Cyanobacterial Biofilms– from Natural Systems to Applications” was just published in Trends in Biotechnology. The paper is now available online: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0167779924002154. Congrats to all the authors!

The "Applause-O-Meter" has spoken! Our seasoned science slammer Selina won the 2nd place at the Vocatium fair science Slam in Dresden. Her presentation was titled: "Wie eine schleimige Bakterien-WG unsere Energie-wende mitgestaltet" - " How a slimy bacterial shared flat helps shape our energy transition."

Amelie, who is already conquering the industry world successfully defended her Thesis "Scale-up of capillary photo-biofilm reactors" at the TU Dresden. All the best Amelie!

Cooperations

Our working group collaborates closely with the junior research group BioMat - Bioactive systems for controlled evolutionary materials at Leipzig University.

We are happy to announce a new collaboration with international partners in the LivMat Project, which investigates "PRODUCTIVE CATALYTIC LIVING MATERIALS" made from poplar fibers.
