Excited to have attended the annual @SNE_ChemBio retreat in Champéry 🇨🇭 with the @HoogendoornLab! Presenting my poster was a fantastic opportunity to share my work, discuss, and connect with the brilliant #chembio community. Grateful for these enriching experiences!
Had a lovely time in beautiful Champéry with great science and scenery @SNE_ChemBio retreat! Congrats to Louise on presenting her master’s thesis work.
The #SNEChemBio retreat's Poster Session showcased innovative research and discussions, highlighting the strength of the #chembio community. Congrats to the Best Poster Award winners! 🥇 Tarun Iype (@klanglab) 🥈 Cedric Pourroy (@GonczyLab) 🥉 Dorothea Kossman (@RiveraChemLab)

Closing remarks by our president, Prof. Sascha Hoogendoorn (@HoogendoornLab). A big thank you to everyone for an incredible event: science, collaboration, and connections at their best! 🌟 #SNEChemBio #chembio

Our retreat concludes with an inspiring Session 4: 🔹 Prof. Pablo Rivera-Fuentes (@UZH_en): Single-Molecule Protein Fingerprinting 🔹 Prof. Angela Steinauer (@EPFL_en): Engineered Protein Cages for RNA Delivery 🔹 Prof. Robbie Loewith (@unige_en): High Resolution of TOR Signaling



Session 3 of the #SNEChemBio retreat delivered fascinating insights! 🔹Prof. Ross Milton (@Milton_UNIGE) shared advancements in enzymatic electrochemistry. 🔹Prof. Michael Nash (@nash_lab) presented on deep mutational scanning for enzyme engineering. An inspiring start to Day 2!


Day 2 of the #SNEChemBio retreat kicks off with a refreshing choice of activities: 🏔️ Scenic hike 🧘♀️ Yoga 🎳 Lawn bowling Ready for another day of science and collaboration!




Day 2 to start with a nice hike. 🙂👏
