How do organisms make and shape minerals, how is this relevant to human health, and how can it be utilized for sustainable materials production? To discuss these and other topics, join the GRC on Biomineralization from 2-8 August. More information at grc.org/biomineralizat…

Check out our latest pre-print based on my PhD work, in which we shed light on the roles of myosins and actin in diatom gliding motility! #diatom #actin #myosin @StefanDiezLab @KrogerLab biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Diatom experts join forces with theoretical physicist. What a collaboration by @KrogerLab and @friedrich_group! 🥳 Check out the details below⤵️

Inspired by the Victorian art of arranging #Diatoms, we have officially welcomed the Holiday season with our first diatom window art Christmas tree! @BCUBE_TUDresden

Congratulations to team DRIP @iGEMTUD23 on your outstanding performance at the 2023 iGEM competition #iGEM2023!! Finishing in the top ten is an amazing achievement and a testament to all of your hard work. @BCUBE_TUDresden @tudresden_de

During the Pandemic we had to teach our Diatom Genetic Engineering Practical Course online and made this video. Finally we have uploaded it to YouTube! #diatom Diatom Genetic Engineering using the Biolistic Particle Delivery System youtu.be/V286nY-O7vw?si… via @YouTube

Pacbio genome sequencing revealed that some diatom adhesive proteins are enormous and highly repetitive and we discuss how these play a role in diatom motility and biofilm formation

#Alphafold predicts that this domain has a strikingly similarity to ice-binding proteins even though their is minimal sequence homology

Check out our latest paper! Great collaboration with colleagues from Gent, @BIOTEC_TUD, Stirling, and @mpicbg. @BCUBE_TUDresden

Happy to see our perspective article on Thalassiosira pseudonana out in @JPhycology Who is joining us in advocating for the resurrection of its original name Cyclotella nana?

Organisms from microbes to whales are incredibly adept in making functional materials with outstanding properties - using only a handful of renewable components. How do they do it? Join the DIGS-BB Summer School on the Biological Making of Materials to find out.

Don‘t miss your chance to join our exciting Dresden @diggsbb Summer school on Biological Materials. We have a great line up of expert speakers and hands-on lab sessions. Target audience: #Master’s and advanced #Bachelor students. Application deadline: 16 June 2023

Are you a #Dresden high school student and want to learn more about working as a researcher in life sciences? Then join us for #GirlsDay on April 27th 2023. girls-day.de/@/Show/Event/5…

Diatoms are tiny algae that produce sophisticated silica shells. Understanding how they do this could help us produce materials patterned at the nanoscale, reports @michaelgrr chemistryworld.com/news/proteins-…

My new highlight of the day is getting #diatom SEM photos. For diatom enthusiasts, guess what is this!

Here we demonstrate how cytosolic proteins associated with the SDV influence pore patterns in the diatom cell wall #diatom

Happy to share the latest results from the lab pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Job alert. Our lab is hiring! We are looking for a PhD student or Postdoc to work on #diatom biomineralization using biochemical, molecular genetic and cell biology tools. 🔬🧬
