Today, I want to point to the Göttingen Network on Organelle Biology, just started and moderated by Dr. Celia Kassmann. She describes the idea of this kind of meetings in the following way:
“Meetings should be held on regular basis to bring together organelle researchers in Göttingen. The idea of the monthly 1-hour-meetings is to enhance in-town scientific interactions and collaborations among researchers who are specifically interested in mitochondrial, lysosomal, peroxisomal, or closely related biology (including organelle interactions). Group leaders and project leaders (i.e. advanced post-docs) are welcome to give a talk on the above mentioned topics!”
If you are interested to join the network and its meetings, do not hesitate to write an e-mail to Celia Kassmann (Kassmann@em.mpg.de). She will add you to the network’s mailing list. Please also consider spreading this information to colleagues potentially interested.
The second talk of this initiative is taking place next week:
Celia Kassmann on “Peroxisomes of the nervous system – Analyzing function and malfunction using mouse models”
Date: Wednesday, March 19th, 3.00 pm
Location: Max Planck Institute of Experimental Medicine, Hermann-Rein-Str. 3, Seminar room, Department of Neurogenetics (4th floor)
As this network just started, its future development is depending on its success and the people involved. It might be your chance to get involved in a vivid experience exchange and become part of an expert network in Göttingen.
