🎉👏 Congrats to Aurélien Barcelo, winner of the 2026 Best Master Thesis Award #SNEChemBio! 🏆🎓 His thesis, “Smart Bispecific T-Cell Engagers”, was carried out in the @WinssingerLab and sets a strong example of innovation in Chemical Biology. @sciences_UNIGE @EPFL_en

Wishing the #SNEChemBio community a Happy New Year! 🥂 Here’s to continued collaboration, fresh ideas, and science that makes a real impact ✨

2025 marks the 40th anniversary of the initial discovery of CENP-A. To celebrate this milestone, we have edited a special joint issue of Chr. Res. and Chromosoma. Many centromere researchers have contributed review articles. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41428263/ link.springer.com/article/10.100…

This is an amazing position, DCI Lausanne is looking for a new director! It is one of the best cryoEM centers out there, with an fantastic infrastructure and some of the most exceptional experts in microscopy that I ever had the chance to work with! careers.epfl.ch/job/Lausanne-O…
