Congrats to Rubén for his new role as Ambassador of the European Climate Pact !

Rubén has been accepted as European Climate Pact Ambassador with a strong commitment in education to all public on climate action. In this context, we have already prepared a TUM Campus Straubing pledge. The range of pledges is extremely varied, seeking to address climate change, environmental degradation and, more broadly, sustainability.

Congrats to JP for his new publication in Nature Biotech!!

Congrats to JP for his new publication in Nature Biotech!!

Nature Biotechnology features JP’s work developed at the Cell engineering group (Helmholtz Zentrum München). This paper shows the engineering of a new family of photo-switchable protein sensors for applications in super-resolution fluorescence microscopy and optoacoustic imaging methods. Please enjoy here a less-technical explanation on the article by JP for the general public.
