I have fantastic news! I am truly honored to have been awarded an Emmy Noether-Grant by @dfg.de @uni-muenster.de

Since most of you are not from Germany, I will use the following posts to explain what this Program is, who Emmy Noether was and what my group in Münster will be doing.

We also built NucMetrics, a no-code ImageJ/Fiji tool so the metrics can be easily incorporated into imaging pipelines. Code available in our lab GitHub. #chromatin, #microscopy, #cellbio, #biophysics, #NETosis.
