Double success: Achim Paululat and Jacob Piehler elected to DFG review boards

28.11.2023

Every four years, around 150,000 researchers decide on the appointment of the review boards of the German Research Foundation (DFG). The members of these committees decide on grant proposals and are involved in the further development of funding programmes. Over the next four years, once again two Osnabrück biology researchers will be represented there: Prof. Dr. Jacob Piehler was newly elected to the "Fundamentals of Biology and Medicine" review board and Prof Dr. Achim Paululat was elected to the "Zoology" review board for a second term. We congratulate them warmly!

Participants were offered a varied program of information lectures, hands-on and experimental stands as well as guided tours around the state-of-the-art CellNanOs research building.

Podcast on "restoration artists": Kerstin Bartscherer talks about tissue regeneration in animals

10.11.2023

Spiny mice can close wounds without scarring, axolotls can rebuild their limbs - and some flatworms can even regrow their heads. These abilities are not only fascinating, but also of great interest to medicine. In the podcast „radioWissen“ by Bayerischer Rundfunk, Prof. Dr. Kerstin Bartscherer (RG Animal Physiology) talks about the molecular basis of tissue regeneration and her own research on the subject.
