#CIBSS brought signalling science to life last month at #ScienceDays2025!
Visitors isolated their own cheek-cell DNA🧬, watched zebrafish embryos develop 🔬, and explored plant genetics & symbiosis 🌱
A glimpse into CIBSS research & the “molecular language of life”.

The Theory of Living Systems Symposium at @uni-freiburg.de's Institute of Physics highlighted cutting-edge research where #physics meets the #LifeSciences.
Co-organized by #CIBSS members, it gathered leading theoreticians to discuss physics-driven approaches to understanding living systems.
