Dimitris Pappas, our former Erasmus Exchange PhD student starts as a postdoc in the lab and we are looking forward to some excellent microscopy images and analyses! "Have a hot start!", as the PCR machines say.

Nina Lantzouni receives her official PhD certificate.

Peter Schröder's review on GATA factors, prepared in collaboration with Crysten Blaby-Haas has been accepted for publication by Annual Reviews in Plant Biology.

Congrats to Dr. Ourania Lantzouni for successfully defending her PhD! A great performance!!
