Evgeniia Dorinova and Konstantin Isenberg attended at the "VII. DNG Graduate School Nucleic Acid Chemistry" at Bad Herrenalb with training sessions, scientific and technology talks and also scientific writing.

Dr. Julia Dietzsch, Dr. Hermann Neitz and Dr. Takumi Okuda attended the XXV International Round Table on Nucleosides, Nucleotides and Nucleic Acids (September 3 - 6 2024) at Katsushika Campus, Tokyo University of Science, Japan.

Gamemaster Hermann and the proud winners of the AK Höbartner Euro2024 betting game. Many Congrats!

Hermann was selected as one of six finalists from six European countries to present their work at the Symeres facilities in Nijmegen (The Netherlands).

Manisha Walunj was awarded a poster prize at the 29th Annual Meeting of the RNA SOCIETY for her poster presentation. Congratulations for this award!

Congratulations Dr Carolin Scheitl for receiving the "Gemeinsamen Promotionspreis der Unterfränkischen Gedenkjahrstiftung für Wissenschaft und der Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg"

On December 19th, 2023 Hermann Neitz successfully defended his PhD on "Hydrophobic recognition motifs in functionalized DNA". Many congratulations and all best wishes for a bright future!

Dr. Reich-Preis für Tina Jungnickel und Tobias Groß.

On October 30th, 2023 Carolin SCheitl successfully defended her PhD on "In vitro selected ribozymes for RNA methylation and labeling". Many congratulations and all best wishes for a bright future!

Congratulations! Julia Dietzsch is among the three poster awardees at the CMMC Symposium 2023 in Molecular Medicine!

Zum XI. Nucleinsäurechemietreffen der DNG am 14.-15.9.2023 versammelten sich ca 120 Teilnehmer an der Universität Würzburg um sich über ihre neuesten Forschungsergebnisse auszutauschen.

We report the ribozyme SAMURI which uses a synthetic SAM analogue as cofactor to make RNA in cells accessible for labeling by Click Chemistry. Just published in Nature Chemistry. Congrats to Takumi Okuda and all coauthors!
