How to be more than the sum of our parts?
>COLLABORATION, the focus of this year's leadership team retreat. Over 2 intense days, using the 4C Model(Contribution, Creativity, Consent, Communication) we found exciting new paths forward to combine our opto, electro, & bio research!

The Cross Against Cancer charity run is an inspiring event that raises awareness of cancer and funds the fight against it. Being so close in Homburg, we had to join!
Congrats to all on Team INM who ran in the 5, 10 or 22.1 km stretches! 💪🏆

A Harry Potter spell in a cell.
What? How?
Hmm... optogenetics...condensates...shine light...uhh...
Just watch the clip, it'll all make sense...I think
If not, here's all about it on our 5th Material Minds Ep with Alexandra Fischer @GroupSyn - youtu.be/827vMx7agg4?si=_oNZ…

After our evaluation, over 70 runners represented INM in the Saarbrucken Firmenlauf (Company Run). Congrats to all for completing the 5K.
David van Impelen was the fastest at 18:03 mins (ranked 13 overall), Albenc Nexha right behind at 18:59 and Makara Lay third at 20:18.
Exciting times at INM! The @LeibnizWGL evaluators are here to evaluate our institute for continued funding over the next 7 years. After months of prep, our team made a strong impression today and tomorrow's the final review. Then, we finally relax and wait for the result.

Thrilled to share that Prof. Weber (@Leibniz_INM
) and Carlotta Borgato (LUMA Arles) delivered an outstanding talk on the LoopOfFun project at the Bioregional Days at LUMA Arles on May 24, 2024. Learn more about LUMA and LoopOfFun workshop here: luma.org/en/live/watch/ateli…

ALT Prof. Wilfried Weber and Carlotta have given a presentation on Myco-materials innovation, at the frontier between microbiology and design
ALT An on-site event Frugal Fungal: A Sensitive Exploration of Mycomaterials, during which professional participants (architects, designers, material and policy makers) were invited to discover more about our research through the presentation of our prototypes, tools, objectives, and the tasting of mushrooms prepared in various forms by the Chassagnette team.

In today's Open Day @Saar_Uni, we showed the public how much fun materials science can be!
People could build their own batteries, 3D print artificial seeds, play with non-newtonian fluids, eat self-made vegan caviar, and much more - 🧵

Thanks to Alexandra Fischer for giving the final talk of #GASB7xDBio! Biomolecules can form condensates wich can either be of liquid-/ gel-/ or solid-like nature. Via light, transcription factors can be induced to form certain condensates that regulate gene expression! – at Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany

With the next talks, we will move from protein engineering to the field of biomaterials! We started with Wilfried Weber. It is incredible to see how precisely cells can be controlled with light. How will #SynBio change the way we create materials? Only one way to find out! – at Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany

How can biomaterials be applied to therapeutic methods? Thank you @cjlongres from @GroupSyn, for showing us exciting approaches on how to build a safety-switch within therapeutic cells based on a material-genetic interface! – at Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany
