On April 8th, Mr. Felix Weichert successfully defended his bachelor thesis. Within the limited time allocated for the project, he managed to initiate and significantly advance a new research topic for the group.

His work revealed that HMGB1–RAGE interactions can be effectively studied using continuous-wave EPR, and that local molecular changes in the HMGB1 protein during these interactions do not depend on whether RAGE is in its self-associated or monomeric form. In contrast, the absence of the negatively charged C-terminal tail was shown to affect the strength of their interaction. And this is only the beginning...

We sincerely appreciate your efforts and foresee a promising scientific journey ahead of you!
