Annual Conference of the Giessen Graduate Centre for the Life Sciences (GGL)

Last year, the PhD students of the International Giessen Graduate Centre for the Life Sciences (GGL) invited me to to deliver a keynote lecture during the annual conference. To sum up the event: I had a blast! On the one hand, it was great to return to my Alma Mater – the Justus-Liebig-Universität Giessen – for a scientifically very diverse and exciting meeting covering ten interdisciplinary research sections. On the other hand, I could catch up with old friends and colleagues many of whom I am still collaborating with.

This year, a speaker invited to deliver a keynote lecture at the conference unfortunately had to cancel on short notice. I was lucky enough to be asked to step in and present some of our recent data at the 2019 GGL conference on September 4th. Needless to say, that after the great experience last year, I agreed immediatly. And again, I very much enjoyed the conference and the scientific discussions. It was great to see the enthusiasm of the GGL students and to listen to their talks on very diverse and exciting topics.

I would like to thank the students of the ‘Protein and Nucleic Acid Interactions’ section of the GGL (and in particluar Christina Pfafenrot) very much for hosting me and the entire GGL team for the hospitality!
