@buncombeGov Register of Deeds @drewreisinger turned his office into a Family Assistance Center. Due to cell networks being down, they began taking submissions of missing/unaccounted for persons 5 days ago, growing exponentially and keeping data every day: #helene #wnc

One week left to apply for our open PhD student position! Come join our team

We have an opening for a PhD student to join our lab @kitz and @DKFZ! 🧠 Are you interested in using cerebellar organoids to model pediatric brain cancer? 👥 Like working in an international team? 🎓 Already/will have your MSc? Please apply by Jan. 9th: jobs.dkfz.de/en/jobs/167299…

very excited to lead a new Emmy Noether junior group at the KiTZ starting in January, continuing our work examining neurodevelopment principles in brain cancer! please keep a look out, as we will have openings for a PhD student :D

Einladung zur 80. Heidelberg Grand Round zum Thema „Developmental Signatures and Molecular Plasticity in Cancer“ 14. 11. 24, 16 bis 18 Uhr, DKFZ Kommunikationszentrum Agenda & Anmeldung bis 13.11.24 unter indico.dkfz.de/e/hgr80 @DKFZ @KiTZ_HD @uniklinik_hd English below

Exciting opportunity for a scientist based in Heidelberg, Germany! Our sister @LSAjournal seeks a talented editor to be entrusted with the fair and rigorous assessment of works submitted to the journal. Lean more: hubs.la/Q02TYSbX0

We are hiring! Do you have iPSC experience? Want to study how rare genetic variants impact brain 🧠 development? Looking 👀 for additional experience before med/grad school? seattlechildrens.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/External/job/S…

September was a new record for bioRxiv posts. Steady growth seems to have returned after the pandemic spike+plateau - a signal of return to normality?

Choroid plexus tumors mainly affect toddlers. Scientists at DKFZ have now been able to show that a permanently activated important signaling pathway of intracellular communication is responsible for the development of these rare brain tumors. @PatriziLab t1p.de/ytpgf

🧬 We are hiring a PhD student for our lab at @DKFZ and @KiTZ_HD! This is an exciting collaboration project with my former @marsonlab colleague @ShifrutLab - and of course it involves cutting-edge CRISPR technologies in human T cells.. Please apply through jobs.dkfz.de/en/jobs/167042…

It had been such a fantastic meeting! Thank you so much @mayersimo and @Lena_Kutscher for the excellent organization and bringing together all the researchers who are fascinated by cerebellar development!

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…

Having such a fantastic time at the Cerebellum Development and Disease conference and excited for our final day of talks. Special shout out to our other sponsors @DKFZ @dfg_public @KiTZ_HD @ResearchLifesci @Co_Biologists

Very pleased @Davidepril will present our cerebellar organoid work probing neurodevelopmental trajectories in disease & evolution at this fantastic meeting organized by @Lena_Kutscher & @mayersimo Stellar speaker line-up 👍 [sad not to be there in person] indico.dkfz.de/event/793/

Thrilled to announce our latest paper published in Neuro-Oncology and our first paper on choroid plexus tumor! Activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling is critical for the tumorigenesis of choroid plexus | Neuro-Oncology | Oxford Academic (oup.com) (1/4)

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month! 🎗️ Let’s advocate for more attention and more support for affected families, for treatment facilities & for #research centers #forachildhoodwithoutcancer
