HypMol
The Mitteldeutsches Resonanztreffen MDR-52 will take place on Nov 20, 2023 in the Small Lecture Hall of the Fakultät für Chemie & Mineralogie of the Universität Leipzig. Prof. Boris Fine (Leipzig University), Dr. Gleb Silantyev (Bruker-Biospin GmbH), Dr. Albert Smith-Penzel (Leipzig University) and Prof. Robert Bittl (FU Berlin) will give exciting talks on current developments in the field of magnetic resonance.
Officially, the Collaborative Research Centre “Hyperpolarization in Molecular Systems” already started on 1 October, but such a large project deserves a ceremonial launch, which also and especially includes groundbreaking planning and decisions for the 1st funding period. This meeting at the TU Chemnitz will begin on 29 November with an opening event with invited guests and, among other highlights, a guided tour of the campus. The following days serve to present the HYP*MOL projects, to get to know the first doctoral students and to elect the TRR committees. The meeting, where international shining lights of hyperpolarization, including Mercator Fellows and International Advisors, will contribute their valuable expertise, will end on 2 December.
The event “Career Options for Chemistry students” organized by the Career Service & the Friends of the Faculty of Chemistry and Mineralogy association addresses to those who want to be shown possible perspectives for their career path. The speakers report on their own experiences in this regard and provide some insights of their current positions.
Date: Friday, June 9, 2023, 4.00 – 5.30/ 6.00 p.m.
Location: Faculty of Chemistry & Mineralogy, Johannisallee 29, R 014
Speakers/ alumni:
Ibrahim Soliman, Quality Manager at Entrhal Medical GmbH
Dr. René Schnorr, Section Head Water Chemistry at State Office for Consumer Protection, Saxony-Anhalt
Dr. Nora Hartner, Lab Team Leader Analytical Chemistry at BASF SE
Hosted by Susanne Benko and Maximilian Preuß. For more information access this link.
The conference, held at the Universität Leipzig, will provide a forum for fruitful scientific exchange, a valuable tool for competence building and knowledge transfer between the different methods of hyperpolarization. The program will consist of invited lectures and contributed papers. The conference language will be English.
The Mitteldeutsches Resonanztreffen MDR-51 will take place on May 23, 2023 in the Small Lecture Hall of the Fakultät für Chemie & Mineralogie of the Universität Leipzig.
The school (Youth hostel Schloss Windischleuba, 40 km South of Leipzig/Germany) is the second in a cycle of four schools and will be dedicated to Relaxation: Basics of NMR, basic quantum mechanics, Hamiltonians, Liouville space and super operators, Redfield theory, correlation functions and spectral density functions, relaxation pathways, relaxation mechanisms, relaxation in solids, relaxometry, paramagnetic relaxation, thermalization, Lindblaad formalism. Teachers: Christian Bengs (Univ. Southampton), Matthias Ernst (ETH Zürich), Amir Goldbourt (Tel Aviv University), Paul Schanda (IST Austria), Albert Smith (Univ. Leipzig). Organizer: Jörg Matysik (Univ. Leipzig).
The following talks were given at the Mitteldeutsches Resonanztreffen at the Universität Leipzig on November 7, 2022, hosted by Prof. Jörg Matysik: Dr. Michael Dyballa (Universität Stuttgart, Institut für Technische Chemie) “Solid-state NMR for the investigation of catalytic surfaces and adsorbates”, Dr. Matthias Elgeti (Jules Stein Eye Institute and Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry/University of California, Los Angeles) “Exploring the conformational landscape of G protein coupled receptors with EPR spectroscopy”, Junior-Prof. Dr. Ann-Christin Pöppler (Universität Würzburg, Organische Strukturchemie) “Worms, spheres and hydrogels – insights into the structural diversity of polymeric materials for drug delivery and tissue engineering applications”, Prof. Dr. Franz Schilling (TU München, Biomedizinische Magnetresonanz) “A molecular pH spy for hyperpolarized 13C MRI”.
