alumni
The Endesfelder lab started out in October 2014 at the Max-Planck-Institute for terrestrial Microbiology in Marburg, Germany. For almost 6 years, we were hosted by the Department of Systems and Synthetic Microbiology, led by Prof. Dr. Victor Sourjik.
Each year, we had our wonderful group retreat at the Hanauer Hütte in the Lechtal Alps. There was a secret rule: All had at least once touched the Gufelsee before moving on! We can highly recommend this wonderful place!
In August 2020, we moved to the Mellon College of Science at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA, USA, and joined the Biological Physics Group in the Physics Department. Markus Deserno, our colleague, recently started an amazing blog about little and larger things that move us.
Unexpectedly though, the unpredictable ways of life soon led us to move again: Since August 2021, we are back in Germany and are now placed at the Institute for Microbiology and Biotechnology (IfMB) at the University of Bonn. We are very open for all kind of visitors and guests - please just contact us or drop by!
