A research group led by TU Darmstadt is looking for answers

Over the next four years, the DFG (German Research Foundation) is to finance a consortium that wants to know how nature renews itself. This is nothing less than the script for the natural regeneration of the rainforest and how this process can be strengthened from the outside.

Last Wednesday 17th March, the first Postdoc Symposium of the Department of Biology took place.

Last Wednesday 17th March, the first Postdoc Symposium of the Department of Biology took place (via Zoom) having a warm welcome and active participation of over sixty persons including undergraduate students, graduated students, postdocs, and professors.

A former student of our department, Ann Schirin Mirsanaye is currently doing her PhD in Copenhagen and is organising this interesting symposium

Do you often have the feeling that your attempts to live a more sustainable life end, as soon as you go to the lab? Do you also feel like a hypocrite by buying noodles in the “Unverpackt Laden” and to produce unbelievable amounts of plastic waste in the lab?

What are the PostDocs at the department researching?

PostDocs will answer this question for themselves in short presentations within the public part of our symposium from 2:45 to 4:45 p.m.. They will cover different biological aspects of our micro- and macroscopic world. Look forward with us to exciting presentations!

The Centre for Synthetic Biology at TU Darmstadt appreciates outstanding final thesis projects in the domain of synthetic biology.

For the first time at the TU Darmstadt two students are presented with the best Master-Thesis-Award of the German Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (GBM) in 2020. Both, the thesis by Claudia Baier entitled “Characterization of miR-574-5p sorting into exosomes” and the thesis by Felix Hamburger – “Development of an automated, robot-assisted high-throughput cloning and screening method for optimizing amylase production and secretion in Bacillus subtilis” convinced the selection committee and the award was bestowed to both students in equal parts.

Deadline for TU Darmstadt students: February 28, 2021

The next virtual biology colloquium will be held on February 4, 2021 at 4:00 pm: “Screening for self-cleaving ribozymes using RNA-seq and deciphering their biological roles.”

Der diesjährige Athene-Hauptpreis ging an Madeleine Crößmann-Amend . Sie wurde ausgezeichnet für ihr besonderes Engagement in der Neukonzeption der Fachdidaktik Biologie sowie der Umsetzung qualitativ hochwertiger Lehrveranstaltungen.

On the 1st and 2nd of October the first self-organized PhD student’s symposium took place online. We had more than 50 members of the Biology department including faculty, post-docs and doctoral students attend the Symposium every day.
