Condensates and gene control: Theresia Brennecke awarded BIF PhD Fellowship

Theresia Brennecke from the Köhler lab has been awarded a prestigious PhD Fellowship from the Boehringer Ingelheim Fonds (BIF) to study how biomolecular condensates influence gene transcription in cells. The highly competitive BIF fellowship – where applicants compete with the top 5% of students worldwide – provides up to 3.5 years of funding and access to an international network of fellows, with fewer than 10% of candidates selected following a rigorous evaluation by external experts and the BIF board.
