Epithelium Microenvironment Interaction Lab @ DKFZ

What is known about bacteria living in tumors?@schorri_lena and @marius_mathies take a deep-dive into this question in a new review, just out in @Nature_NPJ: nature.com/articles/s4152…. With @JensPuschhof, @EranElinav, @DKFZ.

That was a great conference indeed- thanks to the Chairs for organizing a fantastic program addressing key questions in the field!

I've never been more excited to be (a very minor) part of a collaboration than this tour-de-force by @Elinav_DKFZ @Elinav_Lab. Groundbreaking approach to figure out where all those proteins in your stool come from. Congrats @rvaldesmas, @AvnerLeshem, @DanpingZheng, @EranElinav!

Do you want to take a leading role in shaping a research group on functional cancer microbiome work, including coordination of an @ERC_Research grant and national consortium? Join our @EMIL_DKFZ team in Heidelberg as Staff Scientist! Details: jobs.dkfz.de/en/jobs/167155… Pls Retweet😀

👩‍🎓So proud of our very first #PhD @aureliasaftien for successfully defending her thesis on #fungi 🍄. Thanks Aurelia for all the awesome science, legendary memes, and shaping the @Elinav_DKFZ division PhD student culture. Congrats Dr. Saftien! 🎉

Looking for a #postdoc position at the intersection of #cancer and the #microbiome? Join @Zimmermann_Lab @embl and @EMIL_DKFZ @DKFZ with a @ResearchLifesci #fellowship! Details and Application: health-life-sciences.de/opportunities/… (project #128, deadline 28th March)!

🗣️We are happy to announce that #BaCell3D 2025 is happening! We are very excited to welcome you in Basel between June 23-25, 2025 at the ZLF hall of @UniBasel_en 🎉 Join us in exploring the forefronts of #stemcell and #organoid research! 🪩 Stay tuned for more details⏳

Do you want to study #cancer #microbe interactions using #organoids and #organ #chips? Have a look at our guide to in vitro co-culture platforms, just out in @IntJCanc with @HansClevers @EranElinav @JensPuschhof and my fellow @EMIL_DKFZ colleagues: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ij…

Our new #organoid #organchip #coculture review. Congrats @_KamilMoskal, @Yeseul700lee, Luisa Siegert, Nimisha Khurana from @EMIL_DKFZ @DKFZ! Cool experience connecting the dots between in organotypic models and microbiome with @HansClevers and @EranElinav!

.@JensPuschhof, head of the junior research group @EMIL_DKFZ at DKFZ, is one of twelve early-career researchers who embarked on their independent research paths in 2024. @NatureCancer ➡️ rdcu.be/d3R8r

Thrilled to see @EMIL_DKFZ @DKFZ among the 12 new cancer research labs featured in @NatureCancer for "The 2024 generation". I loved reading the other authors' reflections on their career paths and ideas for their labs! Have a look: rdcu.be/d3R8r

#bacteria cause mutations in #cancer - but only if they stick to host cells. Brilliant study from @LarsVereecke lab in @Nature: nature.com/articles/s4158… Our accompanying perspective with @kyannaouyang: nature.com/articles/d4158… Lots of implications for new CRC prevention approaches!

It is a great pleasure to announce today the launch of the @NobsLab! Located at the University of Zurich, we will study microbiome-immune interactions and how they regulate diseases of the lung, in particular infection and chronic inflammation.

Great #NVBMB #conference experience with the Christian Büll Lab at @Radboud_Uni yesterday! Nice (and long...) roadtrip with the @EMIL_DKFZ team 😀

Great @DKFZImmunology seminar afternoon with @KaiKretzschmar from @Uni_WUE. Fascinating insights on Kai's & his group's work on stem cells & differentiation patterns in the oral cavity and related cancers!

Bald ist es soweit: Der 1. #HelmholtzHealthSummit findet am 08.10. statt. @_MichaelBaumann, Vorstandsvorsitzender des DKFZ, ist auch dabei und wird einen unserer Heroes präsentieren. ➡️ Alle Infos und Anmeldung hier: t1p.de/s8nx3 #HelmholtzHealthHero

Curious which methods (not) to use for identifying differentially abundant bacteria and how to deal with confounders in your microbiome study? Check out our new paper! genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Excited to attend #ISDN2024 and share our work!

A question of identity - amazing work by @MoritzMall and @zauggj labs from @DKFZ and @EMBL on cell plasticity in #liver #cancer. Congrats to all authors, especially @ecyrblim & @AryanKamal_!

Excited to share our first preprint with @zauggj @embl! We screened 1,296 transcription factors for repressors that block unwanted plasticity and found many putative tumour suppressors. PROX1 stands out as hepatocyte safeguard that prevents #livercancer. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
