DFG Priority Program for Cell Biology
On April 10 and 11, 2025, the on-site review of the new SPP 2493 - HetCCI took place on the Campus Homburg. All applicants presented their plans to a panel of international experts. The coordinator Sandra Iden and her colleagues look forward to starting this new priority program on heterotypic cell-cell interaction in summer 2025.
The research building is taking shape
The building is still scaffolded, but work is progressing to finally unite Saarbrücken's biophysics under one roof.
