Herzliche Einladung zum Bar Abend, der am 4. November 2025 in Kooperation mit dem Karlstorbahnhof und im Rahmen des heimaten-Netzwerks (Haus der Kulturen der Welt) stattfindet. Über die „Achtung vor dem Fremden“ im Internationalen Privatrecht spricht Teilprojektleiterin Bettina Rentsch (C07):

We had a great evening showing and discussing Picture a Scientist. It’s such an important topic, and we’re grateful for the big turnout, the lively discussion, and especially to Cristina (@cpaulino.bsky.social) and Alba (@diz-lab.bsky.social) for their thoughtful and engaging moderation!

Yes indeed. Thanks for the lively discussion!

Now @bzh-hd.bsky.social Jonathan Friedman is talking in #mitochondria organization

Tomorrow at the BZH:
We’re thrilled to host Jonathan Friedman (@labfriedman.bsky.social), who will present his latest research on mitochondrial biology.

📅 23.09.25 & 12:15
📍 BZH Heidelberg

Join us to explore fresh insights into how mitochondria shape cellular life!

Thrilled to have contributed to this amazing work! Thanks for having us on board 🙌 Huge shoutout to our super-talented postdoc #MelanieKönig for her outstanding efforts 💫. And big congratulations to everyone involved in this terrific team effort! 🎉 @sfb1638.bsky.social @bzh-hd.bsky.social

Huge congratulations to Kerstin and Oliver and the entire team on your success in the Excellence Initiative! Well-deserved recognition and strong support for groundbreaking science ahead.

It was an honor and a real pleasure to be the first speaker at the inaugural @bitsinbio.bsky.social meetup in Berlin!A fantastic opportunity to share my past work and future research directions with such an inspiring and engaged audience!

Huge thanks to @instadeep.bsky.social for making it happen!

Great achievement! The GreenRobust Cluster of Excellence with a strong contribution of COS groups is funded! Excellent!

SFB 1638 Umbau von zellulären Membranen – wie veränderte Form Funktion schafft YouTube video by UniHeidelberg

Our PIs Kerstin (@kgoepfrich.bsky.social) and Michael (@meineckelab.bsky.social) joined Wolfgang Heim to talk about scientific CVs, engaging in public outreach and the wonders of cellular membrane remodelling. Don’t miss the SFB1638 edition of Überlebensstrategien — now streaming!

Just back from the Jacques Monod Conference on Membrane Remodeling in Roscoff—an inspiring trip for Sebastian Schuck and Michael Meinecke (@meineckelab)! We had exciting science, engaged in inspiring discussions, and enjoyed the stunning setting. There’s nothing quite like membrane research.

If you should happen to be at Heidelberg next Monday (April 28, 7.15 pm in the Old City): Stefanie Gänger @feverprojecthd.bsky.social and myself will speak on fever from the perspectives of history and physics, respectively. Looking forward to interdisciplinary and lively discussions!

Static structures are out. A new publication from the Ellenberg lab ( @ellenberglab.bsky.social, @embl.org , @sfb1638.bsky.social ) and Andrej Sali shows how integrative spatiotemporal modeling captures molecular motion in 4D, unlocking dynamic views of nuclear pore complex assembly.

Wrapped up our first Spring School — such a fun and inspiring event! Amazing science, great people, perfect weather and lots of good vibes all around. Already looking forward to the next one.

Hello Science World,
Our SFB1638 is now on bluesky. We study cellular membrane remodelling pathways.
