During the 36th European Peptide Symposium the participants presented more than 500 posters. Anna's won the second prize!
In cooperation with the Pharma Center Bonn and the Limes Institute, Bayer AG has again awarded three prizes for outstanding PhD theses in the field of drug research. The award ceremony took place together with the postponed kick-off meeting of the BIGS DrugS Class 2021.
The PhD student Jan Hendrik Voß (working group Prof. Christa E. Müller) plan a research stay at the University of Montreal (Canada). After a successful application, his research stay will be financed by the Boehringer Ingelheim Fund. During his research stay, he will learn novel techniques to detect and quantify intracellular signaling responses of G protein-coupled receptors.
He applied for a scholarship by the Fonds der Chemischen Industrie and was selected.

PhD student Tobias Claff from the working group of PZB spokesperson Prof. Dr. Christa E. Müller, in collaboration with research colleagues from Shanghai, Brussels Canada and the USA, was able to use X-ray crystallography to show which parts of the receptor are responsible for binding the active substances. With this knowledge, it should be possible to develop substances that activate only DOP.
