Welcome Elsa and Jon, and welcome back...Jie!
The Corona years have been rough in many labs around the world, so we are especially happy to welcome three new people who have joined our lab in the last few months.
The Hyman lab welcomes Athina, Arsenii, and Akshaye

The Postdoc Summer Chalk Talks 2020 continue with Patrick McCall and Samir Vaid
Patrick McCall, an ELBE postdoc working at the Hyman and Brugués labs, started with a talk on “reverse-engineering biomolecular phases with quantitative phase microscopy”. His goal is to probe the connection between how cells design proteins from a pool of amino acids in native and modified states so that they have the desired properties that drive compartmentalisation.
Postdoc Summer Chalk Talks 2020 take off with Tina and Thomas
Tina’s talk “Actin(g) in condensates” exploring how condensates containing globular actin and its regulators WASP and Arp2/3 are regulated. Thomas followed with a rather entertaining talk, “Capillary forces and condensates” on the use of a mathematical formula to explain how FOXA1 condensates bring promoter and enhancer regions of the DNA in close proximity.
Former postdoc Richard opens his own lab in Oxford
Congratulations to Richard! Check out his website.
Edgar is giving a talk at the CSHL meeting Protein Homeostasis in Health and Disease
The Cold Spring Harbor meeting on Protein Homeostasis is taking place from April 17th-21th and Edgar will speak about how Molecular chaperones control the physical state of membrane-less compartments.
Congratulations to Sina and Adam for their fellowships!
Sina and Adam received both each an EMBO postdoc fellowship as well as a Marie Curie postdoc fellowship. This is a great success for both of them but as well for the lab. And yes, of course we celebrated it…
Congratulations to Ceciel Jegers, Boehringer Ingelheim Fellowship winner!
Our PhD student Ceciel Jegers has just been awarded a Boehringer Ingelheim Fellowship to pursue her PhD studies on multi-enzyme condensates.
Interview with Kate Lee in 'Research in Germany'
You can now read an interview with our postdoc Kate Lee in “Research in Germany”, where she discusses her work on phase transitions and neurodegenerative disease, her decision to move to Europe, and what she enjoys most about working at the MPI-CBG.
Kate Lee selected as L’Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science International Rising Talent
The L’Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science International Rising Talents are presented to fifteen promising young women, from each world region (Africa and the Arab States, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America and North America), in order to support and encourage them to pursue their scientific careers.

Welcome, Ceciel, our newest PhD student!
The Hyman Lab welcomes Ceciel Jegers, our newest PhD student. Ceciel comes to us from the Netherlands, and she will be working on phase transitions in cells and disease.
Goodbye, Jana!
We've bid a sad farewell to our intrepid intern, Jana Sipkova. Jana worked for a year with postdoc Shamba Saha, and she was a fantastic addition to the lab
Goodbye, Mahdiye!
Last week we bid farewell to Mahdiye Ijavi, who was working with postdoc Louise Jawerth to study the physical properties of liquid protein droplets
Tony, Jeff, & Richard are in Woods Hole!
Tony and two of our postdocs, Jeff Woodruff and Richard Wheeler, are there for the Summer Institute.
Congratulations to Kate Lee, winner of the 2016 UNESCO-L'Oreal Women in Science Award
We are so proud of our postdoc Kate Lee, one of three winners in the country of the 2016 Women in Science awards from UNESCO and L’Oreal.
All the best to Annett in her new job!
Annett has been a fantastic asset to our transgeneomics and phase transition teams, and she will be greatly missed.
Congratulations, Dr. Wüseke!
Last Friday, our graduate student Oliver (Olli) Wüseke valiantly and successfully defended his thesis and officially became Dr. Wüseke!

Congratulations to Simone Reber on her Inaugural Symposium at IRI Life Sciences
We’re so proud of Hyman Lab alumnus Simone Reber, who gave a fantastic lecture yesterday at her Inaugural Symposium as a new group leader at the Integrative Research Institute (IRI) for the Life Sciences in Berlin.
Jeff Woodruff speaking today at ASCB
He will be speaking at 6:05pm in Minisymposium 16: Microtubule Assemblies and their Functions, giving a talk entitled, "Regulated assembly of a supramolecular centrosome scaffold in vitro."
Congratulations to new dad, Alex Bird
The Hyman lab sends its warm and happy congratulations to our former postdoc Alex Bird (now a Group Leader at the MPI for Molecular Physiology in Dortmund) on the arrival of his son, Nils.
Grad students build a microscope from scratch
On November 20, as part of the PhD Student Practical Course, a small group of predocs built a SPIM microscope (for Selective Plane Illumination Microscopy) in the lab of Jan Huisken.
