After three years we could finally organize our yearly potluck breakfast again. On Thursday morning October 13th, 2022 we welcomed six new master students and a new PhD student.
At the beginning of October Alen T. Mathew joined CMM to work together with Reza Mehdipour. Alen received his master’s degree in pharmaceutical chemistry from the Indian Institute of Technology. During his master thesis he studied the folding patterns of Tau protein using replica exchange molecular dynamics. At CMM his PhD project is mainly focused on membrane transporters and receptors, which he will study using molecular dynamics simulations and docking.
Hereafter you can find an overview of our new master students and their topics. We wish them and Alen a good time here at CMM and a lot of inspiration upon their scientific journey.
