In November, 2021, Julius Fülleborn joined the group as a PhD. Julius already did his second master's project of the biomolecar master here in the MSB group in which he identified metabolic dynamics during the cell cycle of mammalian cells. Now he continues as a PhD working on the temporal regulation of the different biosynthetic processes which gave rise to the overall metabolic oscillations during the cell cycle of yeast cells. Welcome Julius! |
