This week Suzanne returned from her maternity leave. We are so happy to have her finally back in the lab! But her surprise present made us even happier. :-) She brought a terrific tailer-made cake for our lab: The cake was not only vegan, lactose- and gluten free, it was also adorned with beautiful hand-painted arenosa flowers and tasted absolutely fantastic.  

From 16.-18. August 2021, the Bomblies team went on their first retreat. The last time we met in person was over 18 month ago (before ETH decided on the home office recommendation due to COVID19). We thought it was hight time to catch-up in person again.

A study published in Nature Communications, from a collaboration between the Bomblies lab (IMPB) and colleagues at the John Innes Centre and Cambridge University in the UK, presents a new model for how meiotic crossover interference, which is important in chromosome segregation, could work.
