Congratulations! The German Research Foundation (DFG) is once again funding two Research Training Groups (RTGs) at MLU with around four million euros each. This will enable the successful training of doctoral students in the fields of plant research and protein research to be continued and expanded.
The Research Training Group “Communication and Dynamics of Plant Cell Compartments (GRK 2498)” is investigating the question of how plants produce their special ingredients and valuable substances.
The Research Training Group “Intrinsically Disordered Proteins – Molecular Principles, Cellular Functions, and Diseases (GRK 2467)” is investigating a special class of proteins that is also responsible for many serious diseases.

For the translation of an English-language questionnaire to assess a person’s personality, one of MLU’s doctoral students is looking for people who are proficient in both German and English at a native-speaker level.
Participation consists of answering two online questionnaires one week apart (date 1: approx. 30 min, date 2: approx. 25 min). The first 30 participants will receive a thank-you gift of 30€ for their participation. Further information and the link to the study: https://www.soscisurvey.de/bilingualstudie/
