Thank you so much, Claudia and Kathrin, for putting together a truly excellent event!

#Biochemistry2026 comes to an end!

We especially want to thank our organizers, Claudia Höbartner and Kathrin Lang, for an amazing job and all participants for making this a great conference.

We wish everyone safe travels back and hope to see many of you at the next event in 2028.

How are the receptors in the synapse organized?

Diego Ortiz-López from the Hermann Schindelin group discussed his research at #Biochemistry2026. He talked about the organization of receptors in the inhibitory postsynapse by organization of gephyrin oligomers.

How do our muscles work on a molecular scale?

Stefan Raunser gave an inspiring lecture on his group's work at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Physiology, in which they elucidate this question with a great combination of biochemistry and structural biology.
