Lemke Lab Celebrates Success of SCALE Cluster as Newly Awarded DFG Cluster of Excellence

We are thrilled to announce that the SCALE Cluster—“SubCellular Architecture of LifE“—has been officially awarded the prestigious title of DFG Cluster of Excellence as part of Germany’s Excellence Strategy! The Lemke Lab is proud to be a contributing member of this groundbreaking initiative that aims to revolutionize our understanding of the intricate architecture within living cells.

Led by Goethe University Frankfurt and involving a dynamic network of researchers from across disciplines, the SCALE Cluster brings together biologists, physicists, chemists, and computer scientists to unravel how the spatial organization of subcellular structures enables the complex functions of life.

This recognition not only reflects the scientific excellence and collaborative spirit of the SCALE team but also secures long-term funding for high-impact research and international partnerships. We look forward to the discoveries and innovations that will emerge from this exceptional research environment.
