Mosla beteiligt sich an der Wissenschaftsrallye

19. July 2021

Für Kinder und Jugendliche ab 10 Jahren findet in den Sommerferien die ProLOEWE-Wissenschaftsralley statt. Ab dem 2. August gilt es 21 Rätselvideos zu lösen. Dabei wird experimentiert, gemalt, gebastelt und die Natur entdeckt. Und das Beste: Es gibt eine ganze Reihe an Preisen zu gewinnen.
MOSLA ist bei den Rätselvideos natürlich auch mit am Start. In diesem Beitrag erzählen wir näheres zur Wissenschaftsralley.

Eine Anmeldung ist für die Teilnahme übrigens nicht nötig.

We joined the DNA Data Storage Alliance

4. July 2021

Here at MOSLA, we aim to develop novel, transdisciplinary approaches for long-time archiving of data, in particular, in DNA. Of course we are not the only ones interested in this area, so we, and thus the University of Marburg, are now part of the global DNA Data Storage Alliance!

Welcoming Aleksandar Anžel

21. June 2021

Aleksandar Anžel is one of the newest members of the MOSLA team. His research focuses on machine learning and data visualization. Both working on analysis and visualizations (Project Area A2), he and Chisom Ezekanna are part of the junior research group instructed by Georges Hattab.
In this interview he takes a closer look on his work and research interests.
