Dr. Francesca Rivello, with Dr. Eng. Kinga Matuła as collaborator, won a 50kEuro grant in the NWO XS competition. This is an ambitious and complex project that seeks to address emerging challenges connected with single-cell multi-omics analysis, both experimental and bioinformatic. During the next eight months Francesca and Kinga will use previously developed technology for single cell transcriptomics and intracellular protein analysis to test four different cancer drugs (BTK inhibitors). They want to compare mode of action of the different drug molecules to unravel differences in the cellular responses.

This month Dr. Michael Teders said goodbye to our group as he found a new job in Germany. Michael was part of the Huck group for about two years and made a significant progress in the fields of photochemistry and enzymatic chemical reaction networks. On his last day we had a small farewell gathering with loads of German sweets. We thank Michael for being a member of the Huck group and we wish best of luck for his future career!
