We congratulate Juliane, for receiving the "Elisabeth Gateff Prize 2019" from the German Genetics Society and the "Hans Grisebach Preis 2019" of our university, for her outstanding dissertation on the „Identification and characterization of crRNA processing endoribonucleases and new insights in adaptation and interference during CRISPR-Cas immunity in the model cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803“!

Our website for the annual meeting on “Sensory and Regulatory RNAs in Prokaryotes” is online now. We feel privileged that this year's meeting will take place in Freiburg and are looking forward to it!

Joke has defended his doctoral thesis on"Gene regulation in Prochlorococcus marinus MED4"  at April 01, 2019. Big congratulations on finishing the thesis work!

This is in the Black Forest in February 2019, the ski run is just 30 min from our Freiburg lab.

On FEB 04, 2019, Steffen defended his doctoral thesis on the topic of „Big Data Meets Biology - Revealing Hidden Layers Of Information“. Steffen has contributed to workflow and data modularization concepts for RNA-Sequencing and metatranscriptome experiments, developed an approach for the automated and reliable detection of homologs to bacterial sRNAs and much more. Big congratulations for finishing the thesis work so well!
