#PhDposition #Bacteriology

Last week was our LSM AGM!
Shalini kicked off the event with the Student Council intro & survey results(mental health,PhD rights,job support)
🎤 “Voices of LSM” tackled key issues in small groups
🧠 Inspiring talk by Dr. Kitashova
🌞 Ended with a BBQ in the Munich sun
Big thanks to our Student Council❤️

We had the privilege of speaking with Dr. Tamara Mikeladze-Dvali as a part of our Insight series - In Conversation with the Experts!✨️ Tamara works on how molecular mechanisms coordinate for the development of a multicellular organism using C. elegans as the model🐛
#DevelopmentalBiology #C.elegans

🎉 Major achievement for #LMU in the Excellence Strategy: All seven proposed Clusters of Excellence have successfully passed the review process and will be funded for seven years as of 2026. An outstanding result! 🎉 #ExcellenceCluster #LMUMunich #research Read more here: www.lmu.de/en/newsroom/...

🎉 50 years of the Faculty of #Biology - and 20 years of interdisciplinary work at the #Biocenter! “Biology today is a big data science,” says Professor Stibor. AI, biodiversity loss & synthetic biology will be key topics of the future.📖 To the interview: www.lmu.de/en/newsroom/...

Don't miss Tanja Schwander's talk @dee-unil.bsky.social‬ today @4pm @LMU-Biocenter ‘The Evolutionary Causes and Consequences of Parthenogenesis: Insights from Stick Insects’.

Join us this Wednesday, 14.05 at 5 PM CET for the LSM Lecture with Andrea Rentmeister in G00.031, LMU Biocenter!
Everyone is welcome — details in the poster below 👇
Talk Title: Expanding the scope of mRNA by non-natural modifications

🔬🌱 Master’s student Stella Chroni promotes #sustainability in science at LMU’s Martinsried Campus. Through the #GreenOffice, she supports research labs in reducing resource consumption & helps implementing more sustainable practices. More about Stella an her work for the Green Office at #LMU here:

Join us Today at 5 PM CET for the LSM Lecture with Annika Guse in G00.031, LMU Biocenter!
Everyone is welcome — details in the poster below 👇
Talk Title: Adaptation to the environment: a model systems’ approach

🥔 European potato genetics decoded!
A team led by Korbinian Schneeberger (LMU & @mpipz.bsky.social) found that just 10 old varieties hold 85% of the genetic diversity in today’s cultivated potatoes. Surprising chromosome variation + a new method for faster analysis = big step for future breeding.👉

As part of The Insight Series – Conversations with the Experts we had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Silke Robatzek who is an ERC Grant holder and a leading researcher in the Genetics Dept at the LMU Biocenter
We hope she motivates you as much as she has inspired us!

How do plants survive in the desert? 🌵☀️ @juliabechteler.bsky.social, new to #LMU, is researching the genetic adaptations of mosses and desert plants to extreme drought - with exciting findings for biodiversity and climate research. 🌍🌱 #Biology #Research Read more here: 🔗 www.lmu.de/en/newsroom/...

🤩The advantages of being in the ♥️of the Lifescience Campus Grosshadern/Martinsried are obvious:
▶️All research facilities are within a 20-minute walk🚶‍♀️
▶️Close connections foster networking — even over lunch😋😀
▶️Close to the Innovation Center for spin-offs
▶️Easy U6 access to Munich city center

Yesterday, we did a quick spot check, asking our colleagues if they were concerned about current events affecting research freedom. The response was huge-most passers-by expressed their solidarity with the global scientific community 🧪 Imagine if we'd asked more...

Oldest high-resolution larval eyes of fossil insects identified. 100-million-year-old amber fossils show that Cretaceous reticulate larvae developed specialized imaging systems - a significant contribution to the evolution of sensory structures. #palaeontology #evolution Read more here:

Plants epigenetically control the production of pharmaceutically relevant active ingredients!🌿 #LMU Researchers led by Claude Becker have discovered a #genecluster that regulates the biosynthesis of withanolides in Physalis grisea - with important implications for alternative pesticides & drugs.

#ClickChemistry meets living cells: 🔬 Andrea Rentmeister at LMU Munich makes the invisible visible: her research on mRNA therapies & epitranscriptomics combines chemistry & biology - for the medicine of tomorrow. 🔐 #LMUMunich #chemistry #research Find out more: www.lmu.de/en/newsroom/...

An international research team led by Prof. Markus Meissner (LMU) and Prof. Gernot Längst (University of Regensburg) has discovered a new class of antimalarial drugs. 🦟 The study demonstrates the importance of integrating epigenetic research into the fight against malaria. www.lmu.de/en/newsroom/...

Always a pleasure to run a customised course for @lifescimunich.bsky.social students! This week, we introduced them to Python, and we're confident these brilliant minds will soon apply it to their research projects. Excited to see what they’ll create! 🚀🐍

Check out our new newsletter!!🎊❤️ Kudos to the newsletter team for their efforts!🎊

🚀 Excited to share our latest work on Mrx6 and mtDNA copy number regulation, now available on @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social ! We uncover how Mrx6 and Mam33 interact with the Lon protease Pim1 to control substrate degradation. 🔬 Check it out here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #mitochondria #mtDNA
