Student Awards for Aylin Balmes and Hendrik von Eysmondt from the 21st IUPAB Congress 2024 (IUPAB2024), Kyoto, Japan
We are happy to announce that our doctoral fellow Aylin Balmes and our associated doctoral fellow Hendrik von Eysmondt (both from Project 3) received a BPS-IUAPAB Student Award during the 21st IUPAB Congress 2024 (IUPAB2024) in Kyoto, Japan.
The conference was held under a “Rocking out Biophysics” theme. The scientific session chairs choose candidates, whose posters were then evaluated by the poster selection committee.
We congratulate Aylin and Hendrik for being two out of only four awardees!

From July 22-26 we held a Welcome Week for our new doctoral fellows of the 3rd cohort.
On Monday, July 22, after several presentations with important information on our GRK as well as the University Graduate Academy, we enjoyed a punting trip along the Neckar as our evening highlight. For the rest of the Welcome Week, the new fellows visited all the GRK labs and were introduced to their research topics and techniques. On Friday, we closed the Welcome Week with a productive feedback session.
We warmly welcome our new doctoral fellows and wish them a good start in the GRK.
We are looking forward to fruitful collaborations in the next years!

June 10
In April 2024, following a highly competitive application round, the GRK 2381 invited a group of shortlisted potential doctoral candidates to Tübingen for an on-site visit.
The candidates had the opportunity to present their previous research work and talk to the current GRK doctoral students and project leaders.
An informal get-together at a local brewery and visits of the GRK labs helped to get to know each other and find matching interests between candidates and existing project teams.
We hope that the site visit was a positive experience for all participants. We would like to thank all applicants for their interest in joining GRK 2381 and all current GRK members for their help in organizing this event.
Above all, we are pleased to welcome the selected doctoral students as new members of the GRK 2381. We wish them a good start in Tübingen and all the best for their doctoral projects in the GRK 2381.

Add-on Fellowship for Aylin Balmes from the Joachim Herz Foundation
The GRK 2381 congratulates Aylin Balmes on her successful application for an Add-on Fellowship for Interdisciplinary Life Science from the Joachim Herz Foundation.
The foundation supports young scientists who want to use interdisciplinary approaches to answer biological research questions while promoting “thinking outside the box” and networking.
The Add-on Fellows receive financial support over a period of two years for international networking and further training in a different subject – for example, biologists can immerse themselves in mathematics and modelers in life sciences. The individually and flexibly adapted funding enables research stays, conference visits, the purchase of aids such as laptops or software solutions and participation in fellowship meetings.

With support from the Reinhard Frank-Stiftung, four of our doctoral researchers (M. Barresi, A. Böttcher, T. Pham, M. Roeßing) and our training coordinator (Prof. R. Lukowski) were able to make a short-term trip to our partners in Boston in November 2019. This visit was extremely useful to get in touch with host PIs and their laboratories and to establish solid grounds for the future exchange of junior scientists. Our doctoral researchers also presented a poster of the GRK 2381 at the cGMP Forum in Boston and had the opportunity to network with pharma industry. For a full version of their report on their first academic Boston experience, see here.
