Thanks to all who participated in our Hüttenseminar! A lively mix of scientific talks, afternoon hikes, and morning group challenges – all set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Austrian Alps – made for an excellent summer retreat.

The retreat entitled “Hyperpolarized NMR-Reporters: Physics, Biochemistry and Signal Processing for Optimized Biosensors” was co-organised with Prof. Leif Schröder of Leibniz-Forschungsinstitut für Molekulare Pharmakologie, whose group also develop molecular imaging method using hyperpolarized biosensors. We gratefully acknowledgeand funding from the WE-Heraeus-Klausurtagung Stiftung.
