First Place at SPICA24 for Poster Presentation
Our BioSE team won 1st place in the poster presentation contest at the “19th International Symposium on Preparative and Industrial Chromatography and Allied Techniques” (SPICA2024), held from October 15–18, 2024, in Milan, Italy. The awarded poster, “Antibody Purification using Potential-Controlled Affinity Membrane Chromatography”, was created and presented by Eike K. Theel. It highlights the innovative work of Tobias Steegmueller, supervised by Sebastian Schwamminger and Sonja Behrensmeier, who developed a fast and gentle method for antibody purification.
The 20th International PhD Seminar on Chromatographic Separation Science
The SoCSS 2025 will be hosted by Technical University of Munich.
The seminar will take place from 25.06.2025 until 27.06.2025.
Nano Innovation Award 2024
From idea to application - Nano Innovation Award 2024 for three young Munich scientists
Leonie Wittmann secured third place in the Nano Innovation Award 2024. She impressed the jury with her project, where she developed a method for separating individual yeast cells by age using magnetic nanoparticles. Yeast is used in various industrial applications and food production. Leonie's process allows for the easy sorting of old yeast cells, ensuring that only the most productive cells are used. This could enhance the efficiency and sustainability of industrial processes involving yeast. Further information.
Proteins and Light Scattering at TUM
In cooperation with Wyatt, the Chair of Bioseparation Engineering is organizing the Wyatt User Day in Garching on 11.06.2024. The workshop deals with analytical protein quality assessment methods, new purification strategies, and a glimpse beyond proteins. Participants can analyze their samples during the practical session using dynamic light scattering with Wyatt instruments.

Cytiva User Day 20./21.02.2024 - Invitation
In cooperation with the MEP (Munich Institute of Integrated Materials, Energy and Process Engineering) and Cytiva, the Chair of Bioseparation Engineering is organizing the Cytiva User Day in Garching on 20./21.02.2024. The two-day workshop offers PhD students and research assistants the opportunity to exchange ideas with other groups at TUM and to learn more about protein research (protein purification (ÄKTA pure), filtration and protein analytics) in theory and practice.
