A week in the classroom!
As part of "Max Planck goes to school", we visited four classes last week.
Meiosis was on the timetable. We were excited to teach about chromosomes 🧬 and oocytes 🥚, and share some insights into our research! 🔬

Our PostDoc @palmrinmoy has officially received the Elisabeth Gateff Prize for his outstanding dissertation! 🎉
He celebrated this special occasion with the prize’s founder, Prof. Elisabeth Gateff.
Congratulations again, Mrinmoy, on this well-deserved recognition!👏

Chromosome errors in human eggs are a major cause of age-related infertility. Our lab has studied why they occur and developed promising approaches to reduce them.
Great to see this work and its translation at Ovo Labs featured in @TheEconomist.
