Science for a future worth living: Exhibition in the Botanical Garden
17.05.2024
How can light energy be converted into chemical energy with the help of metal complexes? How do plants adapt to different environmental conditions? And what can we learn from mice about depression? Questions like these are the focus of a poster exhibition in the Botanical Garden, in which the various research groups in the School of Biology/Chemistry offer an insight into their diverse research from May to October.
Heart research in fruit flies: DFG funding for the Zoology group
16.05.2024
The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster measures just two and a half millimetres - and its heart is only the size of a pinhead. This tiny organ is the focus of a research project by the RG Zoology (head: Prof. Dr. Achim Paululat), which is being funded by the German Research Foundation with a postdoctoral position and material resources. Specifically, the researchers are investigating the development and function of heart valve cells.
Biochemist Christian Ungermann elected as member of the Leopoldina National Academy of Sciences
26.04.2024
Founded in 1652, the „German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina e. V.“ is the oldest academy of science in the world that has existed without interruption. As Germany's National Academy of Sciences, it advises politicians and the public on scientific issues and represents German academia on international committees. Admission to this society follows scientific excellence and is thus a very special honour – which has been awarded to Prof. Dr. Christian Ungermann, head of the Biochemistry section. He will be the only scientist of the University of Osnabrück at the Leopoldina.
