👩‍🔬 Today is International Day of Women and Girls in Science! Meet Nisha Hemandhar Kumar @nishahemandhar.bsky.social, postdoctoral researcher in the group of @beyerlab.bsky.social at the @unicologne.bsky.social

Inspiring the Next Generation 🎉Happy International Day of #WomenInScience 🎉 We had many amazing female scientists – like our two alumnae, who recently received prestigious postdoctoral fellowships: @sophiesiems.bsky.social (Marie Curie) & @nishahemandhar.bsky.social (Walter Benjamin) Congrats! #STEM

Excited to share that I have been awarded @dfg.de Walter Benjamin fellowship for my Postdoctoral project. I will be conducting this work at @cecad.bsky.social in @beyerlab.bsky.social lab and associated with @crc1678.bsky.social.

🚀Great news from #CRC1678: Our postdoc @nishahemandhar.bsky.social receives the @dfg.de Walter Benjamin Fellowship! This award highlights her outstanding research, opens exciting new opportunities, and is an important milestone that will support her independent scientific career. Congratulations! 🥳

We are well into our 5-day Cluster Workshop on Ribosome Profiling (Ribo-seq) run by sabbatical scientist Ranen Aviner @czbiohub.bsky.social. We welcome PhDs and PIs from Bonn/Cologne for a hands-on and analysis course sponsored by the Cluster @immunosens.bsky.social @unibonn.bsky.social UKB.

🎤 Science gets loud! Our #CRC1678 postdoc @nishahemandhar.bsky.social hits the stage at the Medical Faculty’s Science Slam! 🗓️ Nov 12, 6:30 PM 📍 Gebäude 9, Cologne Join for a night of fast, fun, fascinating research! 🎟️ Info + Tickets: medfak.uni-koeln.de/en/fakultaet...

I'll be presenting our latest work, that explores proteo-transcriptomic changes that occur with brain aging and their impact on protein synthesis at the #EMBLProtein conference. If you want to know more about it, come and spin my poster #129. #proteinsynthesis #brainaging

Today marks the first day of our very first CRC 1678 Early Career Researcher Retreat! We’re proud to have such an amazing group of scientists with us—full of curiosity, energy, and team spirit. 💥🧠 🥳💪 #CRC1678 #ECRetreat #ScienceCommunity

We are very happy to invite you to our 9th Rhineland RNA Club at @dzne.science Bonn with great local speakers and Lena Steckelberg @lenasteckelberg.bsky.social as our invited speaker. All #RNA enthusiasts are welcome! Organized by @inahuppertz.bsky.social and @katleppek.bsky.social. #RNAsky

Excited for our latest work! We developed nanobinders for the luminal domain of Synaptotagmin 1 (calcium sensor for synaptic vesicles). Thanks among others to @verstrekenlab.bsky.social @opazo.bsky.social @meunierlab.bsky.social @volkerhaucke-lab.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Nanobinders for Synaptotagmin 1 enable the analysis of synaptic vesicle dynamics in rodent and human models.

Synaptic neurotransmission is a critical hallmark of brain activity and one of the first processes to be affected in neural diseases. Monitoring this process, and in particular synaptic vesicle recycl...

🚀 Thrilled to share our latest research! With the labs of Yansheng Liu and Junmin Peng we’ve built the largest in vivo protein turnover resource across multiple tissues and brain regions, now published in Cell @cellpress.bsky.social 🔬💡 #Proteomics Check it out! 👇 authors.elsevier.com/c/1koBJL7PXu...

If that was the peak of my climb, then every grueling step—each hardship endured—prepared me for an extraordinary destiny! Thanks to everyone who made this possible, especially @forna.bsky.social for your support and mentorship over the years! @imprsgs.bsky.social #PhDone
