Save the Date! The Molecular Life of Diatoms 7 Conference returns in San Diego, July 17-21, 2023. Stay tuned to this space for additional info. Please RT and share widely! Andrew E. Allen #mld7 #mld2023

Job alert. Our lab is hiring! We are looking for a PhD student or Postdoc to work on #diatom biomineralization using biochemical, molecular genetic and cell biology tools. 🔬🧬

Diatoms are tiny algae that produce sophisticated silica shells. Understanding how they do this could help us produce materials patterned at the nanoscale, reports Michael Gross @[email protected] chemistryworld.com/news/proteins-…

Are you a #Dresden high school student and want to learn more about working as a researcher in life sciences? Then join us for #GirlsDay on April 27th 2023. girls-day.de/@/Show/Event/5…

Organisms from microbes to whales are incredibly adept in making functional materials with outstanding properties - using only a handful of renewable components. How do they do it? Join the DIGS-BB Summer School on the Biological Making of Materials to find out.

Happy to see our perspective article on Thalassiosira pseudonana out in Journal of Phycology Who is joining us in advocating for the resurrection of its original name Cyclotella nana?

During the Pandemic we had to teach our Diatom Genetic Engineering Practical Course online and made this video. Finally we have uploaded it to YouTube! #diatom Diatom Genetic Engineering using the Biolistic Particle Delivery System youtu.be/V286nY-O7vw?si… via YouTube

Congratulations to team DRIP iGEM TU Dresden 2023 on your outstanding performance at the 2023 iGEM competition #iGEM2023!! Finishing in the top ten is an amazing achievement and a testament to all of your hard work. B CUBE - Center for Molecular Bioengineering TU Dresden

Inspired by the Victorian art of arranging #Diatoms, we have officially welcomed the Holiday season with our first diatom window art Christmas tree! B CUBE - Center for Molecular Bioengineering

Diatom experts join forces with theoretical physicist. What a collaboration by KrögerLab and Benjamin Friedrich! 🥳 Check out the details below⤵️

Check out our latest pre-print based on my PhD work, in which we shed light on the roles of myosins and actin in diatom gliding motility! #diatom #actin #myosin DiezLab KrögerLab biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

How do organisms make and shape minerals, how is this relevant to human health, and how can it be utilized for sustainable materials production? To discuss these and other topics, join the GRC on Biomineralization from 2-8 August. More information at grc.org/biomineralizat…
