Last week was great to be at @eurobic18.bsky.social! Fantastic science, great discussions, and even better to share it with the wider bioinorganic community. Proud of our group's presentations, and congratulations to our postdoc Xinwei Ye on a Best Poster Award! Thanks to the organizers.

It has been a pleasure serving on the SBIC ECR Committee. Moments like these make me proud of our amazing early career bioinorganic community. Many thanks to our sponsors and to Gerard Roelfes, Sylvestre Bonnet, and Wesley Browne for giving us this wonderful opportunity. Looking forward to more!

A wonderful BioLabs #Betriebsausflug this year! We enjoyed a hike, visited the impressive Effelsberg Radio Telescope, and wrapped up the day with a picnic and great conversations. Fantastic to see so many colleagues from the department join. Already looking forward to next year's outing!

A [Cu-4Fe-4S] cluster? Yep, you read that right! We report a new bioinorganic motif in an acetol dehydrogenase and characterized it with our wonderful collaborators from @ribesresearch.bsky.social @lmu.de @cutsail-lab.bsky.social @ksgchem.bsky.social @mpi-mr.bsky.social @hhu.de 🧪 #chemsky

Congratulations to Dr. Abhishek Dey, our institute’s Frontiers Awardee 2026! It was truly wonderful hosting my PhD supervisor. A very special full-circle moment for me, seeing him recognized among such exceptional scientists in bioinorganic chemistry and chemical energy conversion.

Had a wonderful to visit Uppsala University for the first time. First day was the Tiselius symposium, followed by the Department of Chemistry seminar the next day. Thanks for the invite. Needless to say lots of wonderful discussions too. #seminar #uppsala
