2020

Our paper "Dynamic 3D proteomes reveal protein functional alterations at high resolution in situ" is out in Cell.

A magical Xmas event with the World Vice Champion in mental magic under strict COVID safety measures …..

We are exctied to welcome back Cathy Marulli for her PhD project where she will work with Alexander Leitner.

Congratulations to Cathy Marulli for being awarded the ETH medal for her outstanding master's thesis "FLiP-MS: Towards Proteome-Wide Identification of Protein-Protein Binding Interfaces and Quantification of Interface Occupancy" supervised by Christian Dörig. 

We welcome our newest PostDoc Maria Bikaki who joined the group of Alexander Leitner. We are excited to work with you!

Congratuations to Jan-Philipp Quast who has received a grant from the Promedica Stiftung to fund his PhD project!

The IMSB founding father Ruedi Aebersold was awarded the 100th Marcel Benoist prize, the highest scientific award in Switzerland, for his pioneering role in systems biology. CONGRATULATIONS!

We welcome Viviane Reber to the lab for her master's thesis on Parkinson's disease supervised by Tetiana Serdiuk.

A joint paper from the Basan, Hwa, Paulsson, and Sauer labs reports how rapid microbial growth in one condition compromises the ability to quickly switch to new conditions. This remarkably conserved tradeoff emerges directly from the biochemistry of central metabolism and can mathematically predict broadly disparate growth rates on different substrates.

IMSB congratulates Paola Picotti on the prestigeous Rössler prize for her groundbreaking proteomics developments!

Our recent paper on symbiotic nitrogen fixation was published in Molecular Systems Biology. Read the ETH news release how bacteria fertilise soya.

A recent PNAS paper by the Christen group shows how pili function as tactile sensors and reports on the underlying signaling mechanism that interlinks surface attachment with cell-​cycle initiation in bacteria.
