Thibaut Vignane’s goal is to shed light on the molecular mechanisms by which persulfidation controls the ageing of human cells. In the interview, he explains what this has to do with space travel.
Using chemical probes, Prof Dr Steven Verhelst and his Team study intramembrane proteases. These are associated with Alzheimer's and diabetes type II. As part of their research, the scientists develop molecular tools at ISAS.
ISAS is once again hosting PhD workshops as part of the structured doctoral training this week – a good opportunity to look back at the workshops of last year.
During her doctorate, Mona Ehlers used instrumental analytics to examine the different components of wine. Now she uses similar techniques to learn more about the increased risk of thrombosis in patients with chronic kidney disease.
Master's student Adriana Schneider is writing her thesis at ISAS. She is working on optimising the analyses of biological samples. Since November 2020, the 30-year-old has been part of the Proteomics working group.
For their idea of creating a molecular glue that can be used for better cancer treatment in the future, Suyuan Chen and his team of international junior scientists have won the Merck Innovation Cup 2021.
