34th GUM Meeting
In March, our working group attended the 34th GUM Meeting in Kaiserslautern. There, Franziska Fischer, Jana Kuhn and Marlene Parsdorfer got the chance to present a poster about their current research. Moreover, Martin Link and Tatjana Lumpp had the great possibility to give a short talk. Also, Prof. Andrea Hartwig held a presentation about "Bioavailability and toxicity profiles of metal-based nanomaterials in advanced cell culture systems and consequences for risk assessment". We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all organizers as well as participants. Thank you so much for the fruitful exchange of ideas and scientific discussions!
Franziska Fischer was awarded a poster prize for her poster "Long-term treatment of lung cells with chromate reveals specific effects on DNA methylation and gene expression profiles".
Furthermore, Jana Kuhn got the presentation award for her talk on the "Influence of copper compounds on the global proteome of BEAS-2B cells" in the scope of the "9th GUM Young Scientist Workshop".
Congratulations to all!
