Prof. Ferreira visits our institute and DWI
We gladly received the visit of Prof. Henrique Ferreira, from State University of Sao Paulo at Rio Claro. He coordinates the research group on Molecular Genetics and Microorganisms, investigating the chromosomal dynamics and cell division of the phytopathogen Xanthomonas citri, which causes the citrus canker plant disease. He came to participate our two days Pro-Planta project meeting at DWI-Leibniz Institute for Interactive Materials. Prof. Schwaneberg group, Prof. Pich group and Prof. Ferreira group are jointly working in the Pro-Planta project to protect citrus plants against citrus cancer.
Prof. Dr. Rajakumara Eerappa
The Schwaneberg group welcomes our new guest Professor Dr. Rajakumara Eerappa from India.
Professor Eerappa is an associate professor at Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad. His research focuses on biochemical, biophysical and computational approaches to unravel the mechanistic insights into functioning of biological macromolecules. He is visiting our group with a prestigious DAAD scholarship from May 17th 2019 to June 15th 2019. The general purpose of Professor Eerappa’s visit is to build a strong foundation for collaborations between the two research groups and for submission of collaborative grant proposals. Professor Eerappa will stay in the Computational Biology during his visit with us.
Welcome, Professor Eerappa!
