Congratulations and well done, Ben!

Berend was honored for his work “New approaches in precision medicine”. The prize, which serves the memory of Dr. Ernst Th. Jucker, a physician who died in 1972 in the town of Thalwil, honors outstanding scientific work in the field of cancer research.

Congrats!

Berend has been appointed as Faculty Professor and research group leader at the Botnar Institute of Immune Engineering – BIIE. Congratulations and good luck!

He presented the lecture "Coordination of metabolism through metabolite-protein interactions" at the VAAM Annual Conference in Bochum.

The Hans Günter Schlegel Lecture honours outstanding scientific achievements in microbiology in Germany.

The grant was awarded for the "Identification of structural biomarkers for Parkinson's disease in skin biopsies". Congratulations!

Kian started his PhD in early January 2025, supervised by Julian Trouillon and Uwe Sauer. He will be working on the effects of post-translational modifications on transcription factor activity. Welcome back Kian, and all the best!

As from January 2025, Paola will serve as the IMSB Chair and Pedro Beltrao as the Vice-Chair. A big thank you to Uwe Sauer for being such a great Institute Director for the last 10 years!

Congratulations Ruedi!

Pedro received this award for his leading and long-standing involvement in promoting the principles of sharing and integrating resources for the development of excellent research in the Proteomics field.

Julian obtained a competitive Ambizione grant from the Swiss National Science Foundation that will enable him to start his own lab on transcriptional regulation at IMSB for the next 4 years. Congrats Julian!  

EMBO is an organization of leading researchers that promotes excellence in the life sciences in Europe and beyond. It announced the election of 120 researchers, one of which is Pedro. Through this lifelong honour, EMBO Members and Associated Members are recognized for their outstanding achievements in the life sciences.

In this project, we aim at inferring input signals affecting transcription factors activity using computational analysis of regulatory and metabolic networks.

Ruedi Aebersold, the founder of IMSB, was awarded the prestigious Dr. H.P. Heineken Prize for Biochemistry and Biophysics. He receives it together with Matthias Mann (MPI Munich) "... because they pioneered the field of proteomics and revolutionized the way in which scientists study proteins today".  

The prize by the German Society of Mass Spectrometry (DGMS) honors outstanding method developments in and applications of mass spectrometry in the life sciences. 

The group was one of 19 labs across ETH Zurich to be certified in the LEAF pilot project.

Stephan's thesis pivots on the integrated analysis of endothelial cells from different vascular beds. 

The prize is awarded by the Swiss Academies of Arts and Sciences in recognition of  innovative and impactful practices in the field of Open Research Data (ORD).

Jonas started his PhD in the group in December, working on protein phosphorylation and post-translational modifications in E. coli. Welcome back Jonas, and viel Erfolg!
