New preprint 🥳! We made photoclickable HaloTag ligands to precisely control protein labeling on living cells. With it, we can do some cool multicolor stuff. Huge congrats to Franzi and all co-authors! Check it out 👇

#Science met #curiosity!✨
At the “Home game science” talk yesterday in Bad Schönborn, our PhDs Ann-Kathrin Gelmroth & Philip Matthias shared how curiosity drives their #research: from #antibioticresistance to the beauty of #microscopy. Conversations continued long after the talk💬🧪
