A Cross-border Alliance

COCO brings together laboratories at Saarland University and the Leibniz Institute for New Materials (INM) in Saarbrücken, Germany, and the University of Strasbourg, France. We aim to advance the study of condensates and coacervates and to create networking opportunities for early-career researchers. Our members work across materials science, engineering biology, cell biology and pharmacy.
