This week, Melina gave the Theodor Boveri Award Lecture at the University of Würzburg, the university’s highest honor in lifesciences. This lecture recognizes outstanding scientists whose work continues Theodor Boveri’s pioneering legacy. Congratulations to Melina for this honor!
Schuh lab is also on @bluesky 🦋 We look forward to meeting you there! Follow us and help to grow that community! bsky.app/profile/schuhl…
Congratulations to our Emeritus Director Erwin Neher on receiving an honorary degree by the @UniofOxford 🎓
NEW: Eight exceptional individuals whose achievements have made lasting contributions to the world were recognised today with honorary degrees at Oxford University’s Encaenia.
What an inspiring #NachtdesWissens in Göttingen! Thanks to our amazing team, who made our research on oocytes 🥚 fun and accessible for everyone. Great to see so many #curiousminds exploring our science up close and joining in creative activities! 🖍️🧑🔬
Excited to share our latest work in @PNASNews! Combining simulations and cryo-ET, we reveal how microtubules decide between growth and shortening. doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2… @KalutskiyMaksim @microtubule_guy @CompBioPhys @mpi_nat @QMUL @UoDLifeSciences
Wie funktioniert der #Eisprung? Einem Forschungsteam @mpi_nat ist es gelungen, den gesamten Prozess in Follikeln zu filmen. Was bedeutet das für die Fruchtbarkeitsforschung? Tabea Marx erklärt dies anschaulich in diesem #Podcast 🎧 open.spotify.com/episode/5mYk0J… @detektorfm @Tabea_Marx
Exciting News! I am thrilled to share that I will be launching a research group at the @mpi_nat in Göttingen this July!
More hope for pregnancy: The start-up @OvoLabsGmbH develops drugs to improve egg quality & success of fertility treatments. The company, founded by Melina Schuh @SchuhLab, @MissMeiosis, & @yagensky, secures 4 million pounds in start-up capital. @MP_Innovation…

We are happy to announce the launch of Ovo Labs and the close of our £4M seed round. femtechinsider.com/fertility-star…
