Articles about the work in Ralf Baumeister’s labKarsten Voigt, 1st August 2023

(c) Netzwerk Südbaden

The work of the Lab of Ralf Baumeister was recently the topic in two different articles in local newspapers:

First, Kathrin Ermert from Netzwerk Südbaden looked into the century old question of why organisms age. She visited the laboratory for this purpose and had a conversation with Ralf Baumeister. The article can be downloaded from our Homepage. We thank Netzwerk Südbaden allowing us to do so.

Second, Badische Zeitung reported about a recent work of Wenjing Qi and other people from our faculty on heat adaptation of organisms. The article can be found here.

We welcome Prof. Dr. Susana Minguet to our Institute!Edith Ams, 18th July 2023

Prof. Susana Minguet and Prof. Schamel in front of a Cake at her Welcome-Party

Prof. Dr. Susana Minguet is an accomplished scientist and immunologist whose research focuses on the activation of T- and B-lymphocytes. Her work aims to enhance the understanding of T-cell activation and develop translational and synthetic applications to improve T-cell immunotherapies against cancer. With an impressive academic background and extensive experience in various research institutions, Prof. Dr. Minguet has made significant contributions to the field of immunology and we are very happy to welcome her now officially to our Institute.

Career Highlights:

Prof. Dr. Minguet obtained her Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM) in Spain, following a diploma degree in Chemistry (Biochemistry and Molecular Biology) from the same institution.

She pursued postdoctoral research at the Max Planck Institute for Immunobiology and Epigenetics in Freiburg from 2003 to 2007. Prof. Dr. Minguet worked then as a Ramón & Cajal Fellow at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares Carlos III (CNIC) in Madrid, Spain, from 2008 to 2011. Since 2011, she has served as a group leader in Immunology at the Faculty of Biology, University of Freiburg, where she oversees cutting-edge research, teaches and mentors young scientists. Prof. Dr. Minguet became a member of the Center of Chronic Immunodeficiency (CCI) at the University Clinics Freiburg in 2016. Prof. Dr. Minguet has also been affiliated with the Cluster of excellence BIOSS, Centre for Biological Signalling Studies since 2017.

In 2018, she obtained her habilitation in Immunology from the Faculty of Biology at the University of Freiburg, recognizing her as an expert in the field. Since 2019, Prof. Dr. Minguet has been a member of the Cluster of Excellence CIBSS – Centre for Integrative Biological Signalling Studies, where she contributes to interdisciplinary research collaborations.

Selected Publications:

Prof. Dr. Minguet has published numerous highly regarded articles in reputable scientific journals. Some of her notable publications include:

Liebe Fakultätsmitglieder der Biologie, *(English version below)*

Wir möchten uns ganz herzlich bei allen bedanken, die den Fakultätstag 2023 besucht haben! Wir hoffen, dass ihr dort genauso viel Spaß hattet wie wir vom Organisationsteam.Besonders bedanken möchten wir uns bei allen Mitarbeitern der Bio-I-II-III-Institute, die in den vergangenen Wochen mit ihrer Zeit und ihrem Einsatz dazu beigetragen haben (Workshops, Medienküche, Sekretärinnen und Hausmeister), sowie bei den DJs, allen freiwilligen Helfern und HiWis, die uns beim Fakultätstag unterstützt haben. Ohne euch hätte der Fakultätstag nicht so erfolgreich durchgeführt werden können.

Wir freuen uns darauf, euch alle im nächsten Jahr wiederzusehen und sind dankbar über jede Rückmeldung oder Anregungen, die wir gerne nächstes Jahr berücksichtigen werden.

Die Organisatoren,

Dear members of the Faculty of Biology,

We would like to thank all of you for coming and enjoying the Faculty Day 2023! We hope that you had a great time as we, the organizers, had.

We want to thank especially all the people from the Bio-I-II-III institutes who contributed with their time an effort during the past weeks (workshops, media kitchen, secretaries and facility managers), as well as the DJs and all the volunteers and HiWis that helped us during the faculty day. Without you the faculty day could not have successfully happened.

We are looking forward to see you all next year and we are happy to receive any feedback or suggestions that you might have, that can be taken into account for next year.
