🦋: @jenspuschhof.bsky.social PI @EMIL_DKFZ. Love collaborative science with enthusiastic people. Fascinated by Cancer Biology, Organoids, Microbes.
Big milestone for our group @EMIL_DKFZ @DKFZ: We are thrilled to be among the recipients of an ERC Starting Grant from @ERC_Research #ERCStG! In the #METABAC project, we will explore how gut #bacteria contribute to #colorectal #cancer #metastasis formation. (1/12)

Investing in a healthier future: The HORNBACH Group is supporting the new National Cancer Prevention Center with a donation of 5 million euros. In the future, a new laboratory will conduct research into early detection and screening methods. #ncpc t1p.de/8fl8k
A prosperous future is intertwined with science and innovation. And right now, our science needs rebuilding. Help us restore the heart of discovery. Support the Weizmann Institute of Science. DONATE NOW >>
On leadership & support- meet the amazing first responder team (partial) who voluntarily worked during first 12h, in darkness, smoke, and ashes, to save a building's precious frozen biological samples (most saved). No words to describe the courage and dedication of these people.
Great that you joined Team DKFZ, René - looking very much forward to working with you!
We welcome Renée Turzanski Fortner, who started work on June 1 as Head of Division at DKFZ. The overarching goal of her research is to provide epidemiological insights on the etiology of #cancer, strategies for #prevention and earlier detection, and predictors of survival.

Philanthropische Unterstützung von Forschung ist ungeheuer bedeutend und effektiv - ganz herzlichen Dank an die Viessmann Foundation für dieses Engagement!!!
Die @Viessmann Foundation unterstützt das DKFZ mit einer Spende von insgesamt 5,6 Millionen Euro. Ein bedeutender Teil fließt in die Erforschung des Zusammenhangs zwischen Ernährung und Krebsprävention. Vielen herzlichen Dank! 💙 ➡️t1p.de/uksrs
What keeps cancer cells in check—and can we tame hem? In 2 collaborative preprints, we trace glioblastoma cell transitions in space and decode what regulates their plasticity 🧠👇 📍 Spatial & multi-omic atlas: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 📍 Regulatory logic: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Herzlichen Glückwunsch, @_MichaelBaumann! Der Vorstandsvorsitzende und Wissenschaftliche Vorstand des DKFZ wurde am 3. Mai mit dem Jens Overgaard Legacy Award der @ESTRO_RT ausgezeichnet.👏 t1p.de/02eh3

Bacteria living in the human gut are now found to evolve persistent resistance after brief exposure to antibiotics, and factors that promote this evolution have been identified, highlighting the gut as a potential hotspot for this process @Nature nature.com/articles/d4158…
Movement for prevention, nature for inspiration 🌿🌍 Today's @DKFZ Lunch Walk took us into the Botanical Garden—a perfect match for #EarthWeek and our goal to promote #cancerprevention through regular activity. Thanks to all who joined! #DKFZgeht #HealthyWorkplace #Heidelberg
