Dear MoBBEL members and friends of Biochemistry Tübingen,
This year’s alumni meeting will follow the IFIB Career Forum on Oct 13, 2023. After listening to exciting stories of former students of Biochemistry in Tübingen (9am-3pm GUZ, LectureHall 3M07) we will meet in the lecture hall of the new IFIB at 17 p.m. for our annual meeting.
Afterwards we will have a barbecue. We will food and drink, but also feel free to also bring your own food.
For those who are not able to join in person we will provide a ZOOM-Link via e-mail.

With this update we also want to thank the participants of our 60-Year-Anniversary celebration of Biochemistry in Tübingen.
Diesen Samstag am 08.07. ist es endlich soweit! Wir freuen uns Euch zum Fest anlässlich des 60-jährigen Bestehen des IFIB begrüßen zu dürfen.
Alle Interessierten sind herzlich eingeladen im Hörsaal N5 des Hörsaalzentrums (Auf der Morgenstelle 16) vorbeikommen.
Wir freuen uns auf Euch.
SAVE THE DATE:
Am 09.07.2022 findet auf der Morgenstelle in Tübingen ein Fest zur Feier des 60-jährigen Bestehen des IFIB statt.
Freut Euch auf Vorträge von ehemaligen Biochemie Absolvent*innen, Hintergründe zu 60 Jahren IFIB und Kennenlernen alter Kommiliton*innen.
Wir freuen uns, euch zahlreich begrüßen zu können.

From April 22 to June 24, 2016 you have the chance to attend an exceptional exhibition in the northern foyer of the Interfaculty Institute of Biochemistry (IFIB). The concept of The Nucleus Project is to create visual and cognitive connection between biochemistry in the old times and nowadays. The photographs bring together the roots of biochemistry, at the laboratory at the Schloss Höhentübingen, and contemporary research at twenty-first-century locations, such as the modern facilities at the Schnarrenberg.
The works from The Nucelus Project orbit, like satellites, around the city of Tübingen. Photographic images are exhibited at five other locations, in addition to the IFIB. (see list of all locations below)
Creator of The Nucleus Project is the artist Bernd Haussmann. Born in Tübingen, Haussmann has been a US resident since 1994, where he worked as an artist-in-residence at the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT.
Opening: Thursday, 21.4.2016, 6 pm, IFIB
Duration: 22.4. – 24.6.2016 at five different locations (see all locations below)
Opening times at the IFIB: Mon – Th 7:00am – 7:30pm, Fri 7:00 – 6:30pm
Opening times at other locations may vary
Free admission

IFIB is to move to a new state-of-the-art-building by 2019. The construction will be a part of the renewed Campus Morgenstelle under the concept of a Campus of the Future.
Architectural plan for the new IFIB building.
As a part of the Excellence Initiative of the German Higher Education and Research, Eberhard Karls University strives to consolidate and expand its importance as a research institution. The building concept Campus of the Future is a joint venture of the Ministry for Science, Research and the Arts and the Ministry of Finance and Economics of Baden-Württemberg, and the University of Tübingen. Campus of the Future involves construction works throughout the city.
Fundamental objectives of the reconstructions are more efficient use of the surface resources, improved energy efficiency, and a reduction in management and renovation costs by spatial concentration. As a result, not only will teaching and research quality be enhanced, but also traffic load due to commuting between the facilities will be significantly lowered.
The expansion of Campus Morgenstelle is a major milestone in the development of the University of Tübingen. The campus was built in two phases between 1968 and 1974 on a total surface of 70 000 m2. Fifty years later, it is to be reconstructed to become a “campus of the future”. According to the building plan Campus Morgenstelle Part I from 2009, the cafeteria has been renovated and the southern part of the Morgenstelle has already been expanded. Today there is the newly-built Center for Molecular Plant Biology (ZMBP). Asa part of Campus Morgenstelle Part II, in early 2016 started the constructions of the new Interfaculty Institute of Biochemistry (IFIB) and the Geosciences and Environmental Research Center (GUZ). A building for the Department of Computer Sciences and a Central Life Sciences Library will follow. Additional information on the construction work can be found at the end of this article (German only).
Construction site of the new IFIB building.
The new IFIB building is going to be situated in the immediate proximity of ZMBP, creating better conditions for scientific collaboration between the two and for optimal use of technical resources, such as lecture halls and libraries. Constructions began in January 2016 and are planned to finish in January 2019. With an estimated total cost of 41,2 million euro and a useful area of only 5 320 m2 , IFIB is planned to have a gross building area of 9
296 m2. Nevertheless, the new building will be highly energy efficient due to the concrete core activation climate system, keeping a moderate temperature with little fluctuation throughout the seasons.
Let the Campus of the Future just like an old tree keep its roots strong in the ground, but spread its ideas like branches and yield success like mellow fruits.
