The second summer school of the RTG 2767 took place at Wasserschloss Klaffenbach from June 26 to 29, 2023. Here, the team of PhD students elected the new PhD representatives and attended a lecture series on particulate processing concepts for optoelectronics, photovoltaics and sensing devices. The program was complemented by a guest lecture by Prof. Wolfgang Parak (University Hamburg) and a fireside evening with a guest from industry.

Congratulations to RTG 2767 PI Dr. Larysa Baraban!

Press release from Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), 19 Oct 2022

Approximately thirty thousand people die every day from cancer worldwide. What is known as “immunotherapy” is increasingly becoming the scientific focus in the fight against the disease. Together with her team, Dr. Larysa Baraban, physicist at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) is researching a chip that should ultimately make it possible to develop customized cancer immunotherapies. Her efforts are funded by the European Research Council (ERC) for five years through an ERC Consolidator Grant totaling nearly two million euros.

Nadia Metzkow and Borja Rodriguez-Barea were elected as PhD representatives of RTG 2767 at the RTG summer school. The PhD representatives are full members of the RTG's board and thus have a vote on all decisions of the RTG. They as well coordinate the student's organization of teaching content and social media activities. We congratulate Nadia and Borja on the election and look forward to fruitful cooperation!

We took a little trip to the center of Saxony. There is the Kurt-Schwabe-Institut für Mess- und Sensortechnik Meinsberg e.V., which is led by our Principal Investigator Prof. Michael Mertig. In addition, Dr. Caroline Murawski (also PI in GRK 2767) leads her research group "Organophotonic Sensing" there. We listened to the lecture "Dynamical methods in biosensing - organic electronics" and had the chance to visit all the institute.
