No, it wasn\u2019t glamorous at all. I was with my colleague Inga H\u00e4nelt, SCALE\u2019s co-spokesperson, and a few others from the team watching the livestream together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MB: I managed to distract myself pretty well \u2013 I was away on retreat and didn\u2019t actually watch it live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MMM: It was really nerve-wracking. Inga and I even drove up to the Feldberg at one point \u2013 we just couldn\u2019t sit still anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SCALE was a first-time application. What were your expectations \u2013 did you feel like outsiders going in, or did being new actually give you an edge against the \u201cold pros\u201d?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MB: In the preliminary round, we were definitely underdogs, and we came into the process relatively late. But in the main round, we were already more confident \u2013 also because we knew our research program is strong, so let\u2019s see the established clusters try and match that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MMM: But yes, in the beginning we really were underdogs, and that actually gave us momentum to try something new \u2013 something that hadn\u2019t yet existed on Riedberg Campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Goethe University Frankfurt submitted the application, but you had many partners, including the Max Planck Institute for Biophysics (MPIBP), the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research (MPIBR), the Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies (FIAS), Saarland University, and Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU). How do you view the collaboration with so many partners?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MB: I think it worked well overall. Most of the core institutions are based on Riedberg Campus, where people already know each other and work together. We then brought in additional expertise from Mainz and Saarland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MMM: I agree. Many of the principal investigators already knew each other from earlier consortia. Also, some participants are part of SCALE more as individuals than as institutional representatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SCALE aims to uncover the principles of cellular self-organization and create a high-resolution spatial and temporal simulation of the cell. Would it be fair to say you\u2019re trying to make the invisible visible?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MB: Yes, you could say that. Some cellular mechanisms are so complex that it\u2019s hard to grasp them with the human mind alone. One way to better understand that complexity is through computer-based simulations, which help us make predictions that can then be tested experimentally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MMM: SCALE is also about developing new technologies to fill gaps in our understanding. We already know quite a lot about how individual protein complexes work and how whole cells are organized. But there\u2019s still a big knowledge gap in between. Using simulations, we want to visualize what\u2019s happening in that in-between space \u2013 and check whether we\u2019ve truly understood everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SCALE wants to advance understanding and potentially open up new approaches to treating disease \u2013 so basic research and application go hand in hand?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MB: Exactly. SCALE has five biological application areas, including neurodegenerative diseases and the question of how bacteria develop resistance to certain antibiotics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Funding begins on January 1, 2026. Is SCALE financially secure until then?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MB: We need to start implementing our research program immediately, using the funds currently available to us. That means posting job openings \u2013 both for support staff and professorships. The hiring process takes time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Research is one side of it \u2013 but there are also significant administrative and organizational responsibilities.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MB: That\u2019s true, but we\u2019ve been dealing with that all along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MMM: But it is becoming more concrete now: We have to define the budget precisely and figure out which technical equipment still needs to be acquired. A lot lies ahead of us. One major advantage is that CPI already exists as an experienced research cluster in Frankfurt \u2013 we can learn a lot from them and regular, ongoing exchange will prove very valuable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MB: We\u2019ve already had several conversations with CPI spokesperson Stefanie Dimmeler, even during the preparation phase, to identify synergies and potential joint projects, as well as areas where we need to differentiate ourselves. All of that will become even more concrete now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MMM: And of course, we\u2019ve congratulated each other warmly. Stefanie Dimmeler was incredibly supportive \u2013 that meant a lot. Another fact worth noting is that both of Frankfurt\u2019s Clusters of Excellence are led by women.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prof. Michaela M\u00fcller-McNicoll and Prof. Martin Beck, spokespersons for SCALE, on the Clusters of Excellence decision day, new ideas and what lies ahead UniReport: Congratulations, Professor M\u00fcller-McNicoll and Professor Beck.
