The Conrad Lab
@Conrad_Lab
Our labs @HelmholtzMunich and @TU_Muenchen are interested in how metabolic rewiring impacts #ferroptosis and how this can be harnessed for #drugdesign


I am honored to have received a Poster Award at Redox Week in Sendai. Many thanks to everyone who took the time to engage in such enjoyable discussions and share memorable moments! Redox Week in Sendaiでポスター賞をいただきました。ご交流いただきました皆様ありがとうございました🙇♀️


Thrilled that our design made the cover of the current @MolecularCell issue! Congratulations again to the team @eikan_em and Junya as well as the companion paper by @AngeliFriedmann group!
