Alina won the Audience Best Poster Prize at the Heinrich Wieland Prize Symposium. Congratulations Alina! more

Alina (flash talk + poster), Frank (poster), Jiale (poster), Luca and Brenda (speaker) attended the EMBO workshop in Cavtat-Dubrovnik, Croatia. Danny Scott from St. Jude Schulman group as well as multiple Schulman Group alumni - Arno Alpi, Danny Huang, Vladislav Sviderskiy, Helen Walden (speaker) - were also at the event. more

Lukas is awarded this prestigious award for his PhD project, probing active ubiquitin E3 ligases. Lukas developed probes targeting active ubiquitin E3s within cells and utilized them in mass spectrometry-based workflows to explore the response of these networks to extracellular signals. Congratulations Lukas! more

We're sad to bid farewell to Arno as he embarks on his new adventure as Senior Lecturer in Edinburgh, but we're taking comfort in the fact that he'll remain a close collaborator and friend. We'll miss Arno, but we're excited to see the great things he'll achieve in his new role.

Gary's summer sabbatical with us has come to an end. We're grateful for the time he spent with our team and look forward to his return.

Happy 25th anniversary, Judith! We're truly privileged to have you in the team!
