SFB 1551 - Collaborative Research Centre 1551
In this Collaborative Research Centre (Sonderforschungsbereich, SFB) life scientists and polymer scientists jointly study biomolecules as biopolymers with a focus on their polymeric nature.
- Congratulations to SFB1551 @dormannlab.bsky.social and @lemkelab.bsky.social at JGU Mainz for being awarded the platinum level of certification by My Green Lab! Together with @landfesterdept.bsky.social, the SFB1551 has now 3 labs actively working toward making their science more sustainable! 🌱🌱🌱
- SFB1551 socks: whatelse! 🧦😍 Thanks @waltherlab.bsky.social and wish you a nice trip!
- Taking my @sfb1551.bsky.social socks for another spin to visit Silvia Vignolini at the MPI in golm. A long trip…
- Congratulations to Andreas Bock, from University Medical Center Mainz and associate member of the SFB1551, on being awarded the ERC Consolidator Grant for his project "CLARITY" on "Elucidating the Role of Subcellular GPCR Nanoswitches in Signaling Specificity" Well done!
- The results of the ERC Consolidator Grant call have been announced! 📣 349 researchers have been selected for funding. Congratulations to all! #ERCCogG! 👉 buff.ly/uu62uFV #FrontierResearch #EUfunded #HorizonEurope @scienceinnovation.ec.europa.eu

- Reposted by SFB 1551 - Collaborative Research Centre 1551Last week we attended a fantastic meeting of the SPP2191 and GBM Compact on Condensates! Congrats to members of the Dormann Lab, Yelyzaveta Zadorozhna and Fatmanur Tiryaki, for giving great talks, and to Saskia Hutten for winning a poster award 🎉! @spp2191.bsky.social @sfb1551.bsky.social
- 📢 Registration is open for the GBM Compact: Focus on Condensate Biology & SPP2191 Satellite Meeting! This is sure to be an incredible event diving into the latest in phase separation research with leading scientists. 📍 Frankfurt am Main 📅 Sept 16–19, 2025 🌐 shorturl.at/ZGQch @gbmev.bsky.social
- SFB1551 group leader Michael te Vrugt was featured in Nachrichten aus der Chemie! At @pintofscience.de, he wowed the audience with a creative "zombie apocalypse talk"—playfully testing models that also apply to real epidemics like rabies & COVID-19🧪🍺🧟 Check👇 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
