Congrats to Gea for receiving a 2022 ETH medal for her outstanding doctoral thesis!
Gea Cereghetti (Peter Lab) has been awarded the prestigious ETH Medal for her outstanding doctoral thesis entitled "Disorder, Order, and Life: Reversible protein aggregation as a fundamental process in cell physiology".
Congrats Dr. Böddeker!
On December 1st, Thomas Böddeker, succesfully defended his thesis entitled "Physical interactions of membraneless organelles with the cytoskeleton". Tom will soon strat his JSPS short-term postdoc fellowship at the University of Tokyo in the lab of Prof. Sawai and will work on immune cell haptotaxis. BML wishes Tom all the best in his future endevors!
Eric Dufresne elected 2022 APS Fellow
The American Physical Society (APS) has elected Eric as 2022 Fellow "for fundamental insights into the physics of diverse colloidal, polymeric, and biological systems, and the development of experimental methodologies to make, measure, and manipulate these materials."
3rd BML Semi Annual Meeting
Another great BML day long meeting took place on 30.09.2022 with a great line-up of invited speakers: Dirk Goerlich (MPI Goettingen), Daniel Duzdevich (Harvard), Sascha Quanz and Cara Magnabosco (both ETHZ) and our very own Thomas Michaels who has just joined ETHZ & BML.
Thomas Michaels appointed Assistant Professor of Soft and Living Matter Physics!
Thomas will join IBC and BML starting October 1st 2022. Thomas’ research explores complex systems theory in biology using control theory, soft matter physics and computational biology. He has wide-ranging teaching experience and is particularly well-known for his books on mathematical topics.
3 BML PIs awarded an SNSF Advanced Grant!
The whole BML congratulates Ulrike Kutay, Kartsen Weis and Helma Wennemers, for their success in securing an SNSF Advanced Grant.
NEW COURSE!!! Cellular Matters: from Milestones to Open Questions
The BML PIs will offer a new course on BML topics at the Master/PhD level starting Fall 2022.
Congratulations to Katie and Nicolas!
