[Starting points for the control of protein synthesis](https://www.uni-bonn.de/en/news/startpunkte-fuer-die-kontrolle-der-proteinsynthese-1)6

The research field of "cellular IRESes" lay dormant for decades, as there was no uniform standard of reliable methods for the clear characterization of these starting points for the ribosome-mediated control of gene expression. Researchers at the University Hospital Bonn (UKB) and the University of Bonn, in collaboration with Stanford University in California (USA), have now developed a toolbox as a new gold standard for this field. They hope to discover strong IRES elements that are directly relevant for synthetic biology and for application in emerging mRNA therapeutics. The results of their work have been published in The EMBO Journal.

Last December, the German Research Foundation (DFG) announced that Prof. Dr. Angkana Rüland from the Cluster of Excellence Hausdorff Center for Mathematics (HCM) would receive a Leibniz Prize endowed with 2.5 million euros. She has now been officially presented with the award at Cafe Moskau in Berlin.

[Euclid opens data treasure trove, offers glimpse of deep fields](https://www.uni-bonn.de/en/news/euclid-opens-data-treasure-trove-offers-glimpse-of-deep-fields)8

Germany’s members of the Euclid Consortium have played a significant role in producing the mission’s first large set of survey data which the European Space Agency has just released. Researchers from the Argelander Institute for Astronomy (AIfA) of the University of Bonn have been involved in these activities. The data includes stunning images of deep fields with a breathtaking number of 26 million galaxies, many showing their detailed structures. More than 380,000 galaxies have been characterized according to their shapes and distances. Nevertheless, this impressive milestone is only a foretaste of what we can expect in the coming years.

The University of Bonn’s NimbRo team masterfully defended its title at the German Open household robot competition, held March 13-16 in Nuremberg. University of Bonn’s robots for assistance with day-to-day tasks were developed by the Autonomous Intelligent Systems working group at the Institute of Computer Science. Capable of grasping and dropping objects and navigating everyday environments, they interact with human beings via voice dialogue system.
