Impressions of the annual meeting 2016

The annual meeting 2016 of the bio-N³MR network NRW took place immediately after the 38th Discussion meeting of the interest group Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (FGMR) of the German chemical society "Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker" (GDCh) in Düsseldorf. Members of the bio-N³MR network NRW met in the afternoon of September 15th for six talks given by junior scientists. There were brisk discussions at the presented posters and during the subsequent BBQ at the lovely Botanical Garden of Heinrich-Heine University. The annual meeting 2016 was optically dominated by "yellow shirts", the hallmark of the numerous helping hands from Düsseldorf and Jülich at the FGMR meeting. Their tireless commitment had been a crucial element of the big success of the FGMR meeting 2016 in Düsseldorf organized by Prof. Henrike Heise.

The annual meeting 2016 took place in a lecture room on the campus of Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf.

Thibault Viennet, newly-chosen winner of the poster award of the FGMR discussion group meeting and PhD student in the group of Dr. Manuel Etzkorn, Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf, reported research data on the interaction of α-Synuclein with lipid membranes.

Edisa Rehic, PhD student at the University Duisburg-Essen presented her studies on structure and function of the protein parvulin 42.

Prof. Henrike Heise and Dr. Sigrun Rumpel, members of the bio-N³MR network NRW, follow the talks with keen interest.

Constanze Sommer, PhD student at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Energy Conversion in Mülheim, applies NMR spectroscopy together with other techniques to characterize an [FeFe] hydrogenase.

PhD student Baran Uluca studies disordered protein regions by solid state NMR spectroscopy utilizing dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) at Forschungszentrum Jülich.

Laura Kukuk is a scholarship holder of the Manchot Graduate school „Molecules of infection" (MOI) at Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf. Her PhD project is focused on structure and dynamics of a domain of protein Sly1.

The participants of the bio-N³MR network meeting enjoyed a BBQ in the Botanical Garden of the University of Düsseldorf at the end of a long and exciting day.
