It was great to demonstrate to young minds how molecular dynamics simulations can help us understand cellular processes, using examples of amino acids, peptides, and moving proteins in a box. It was an incredible opportunity to inspire them and show a glimpse of the exciting opportunities in theoretical biophysics.]]>Stelzl LabXiaofei’s PhD Defense2026-02-18T00:00:00-08:002026-02-18T00:00:00-08:00https://comp-mol-biol.github.io/posts/2026/02/xiaofei-phd-defenseCongratulations, Dr. Ping! Xiaofei Ping successfully defended her PhD within the Max Planck Graduate Center.]]>Stelzl LabWinter Symposium with the Schmid, Virnau, and te Vrugt Groups2025-12-08T00:00:00-08:002025-12-08T00:00:00-08:00https://comp-mol-biol.github.io/posts/2025/12/winter-symposiumOur lab took part in the joint winter symposium together with the groups of Friederike Schmid, Peter Virnau, and Michael te Vrugt — a great occasion to exchange ideas and strengthen our ongoing collaboration.]]>Stelzl LabLeon’s Master Defense2025-09-10T00:00:00-07:002025-09-10T00:00:00-07:00https://comp-mol-biol.github.io/posts/2025/09/leon-master-defenseCongratulations to Leon Maximilian Persch on successfully defending his Master thesis.
