use #phosphates to create complex #sugars (oligosaccharides) in the lab!

Reflecting on an exceptional week at the Oceania Chondrichthyan Society (OceaniaSharks) (OCS) Conference in Geelong, hosted by Deakin University (@Deakin)! This year's event, the largest to date, brought together participants from around the world for a program spanning two…

Here's to Olaf Niemeyer, 25 years and counting at our institute!

Whether preparing machines or keeping samples organized and safe, Olaf has been an invaluable #LabTechnician .

#SilverAnniversary

Congrats to the new DR in the house!
Sebastian Ronneberger successfully defended his #PhD thesis: 'Nanolayer Fused Deposition Modeling ( #NanoFDM ). From 2D information labels to #4Dprinting ' at Universität Potsdam
(Supervisor: Felix Loeffler ).
Stay tuned for an upcoming #paper !

Better together!
