First visitors of the new lab came all the way from Japan 🫶 Always a pleasure to discuss #opsin_mechanisms with Shoko and Satoshi and really looking forward to see them again this afternoon together with many other familiar faces at the #ICRP2026 starting today in Siena🇮🇹🧬🍾

Happy to announce that the #VierockLab is moving to #Goettingen joining the new #Else-Kröner-Fresensius-Center-for-Optogenetic-Therapies and a vibrant Optogenetics Community in their goal to bring Optogenetics to the clinic! In the #OpsinEngineeringLab we have Openings - please share and apply! 🚀☺️🎊

Four years ago, the red-light–activated channelrhodopsin #Chrimson restored basic vision in a blind patient. Here, we uncover its #multicolor_photoreactions and show implications for optogenetic applications. Many interesting details and a wonderful team🥳! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
