BMS Day
Biomolecular Systems Day
Join the event at the Max-Planck Campus in Potsdam
The Biomolecular Systems Department headed by Prof. Peter H. Seeberger at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces is hosting its annual “BMS Day” on December 12, 2025.
This scientific event is an excellent opportunity for the MPI, its guests, and cooperation partners to exchange information about the latest technologies, developments, and results.
Who's invited?
In addition to the four internal departments of the MPI for Colloids and Interfaces, employees of the Potsdam Science Park, which is home to several Max Planck Institutes, Fraunhofer Institutes, the University of Potsdam, and many start-ups, as well as other interested visitors are also invited to attend. Colleagues from the new large-scale research institute “Center for the Transformation of Chemistry” (CTC) in Delitzsch will also participate.
KNAUER will be present with a booth.
There, you are welcome to talk about your projects, wishes, and questions from your daily work. KNAUER offers systems for analysis or purification by chromatography on various scales, up to SMBC. In addition, it offers modules for flow chemistry and systems for lipid nanoparticle production as well as oligonucleotide synthesizers.
Our colleague Oskar Klak, M.Sc. looks forward to talking to you.
Regardless of BMS Day, you can reach him at +49 170 2862155 or make an appointment.
