Another succcess for our PhD student Steffen Kühner

He wins the price of the Gesellschaft für Biochemie and Molekularbiologie (GBM) for the best Master thesis, financially supported with 150 EUR. The price will be awarded at the Akademische Jahresfeier of the Biology on June 17th, 2016. In his interdisciplinary project he worked in our Department of Biology (Prof. Stoeck, Division Ecology) and in collaboration with the Biochemics (Prof. Pierik, Department of Chemistry). For the first time, he identified compatible solutes in halophilic ciliates as strategy to high salt conditions. Therefore, he developed and successfully applied an H-NMR technique.
