We are thrilled to welcome our new colleague Roland Knorr with his team @KnorrLab who just was appointed as W2 professor @BCCologne @UniCologne @UKKoeln We are looking forward to exciting research on phase separation & shaping of biological membranes biochemie-med.uni-koeln.de/en/forschung/a…

I am honoured to give tonight's Keynote Lecture at the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation Annual Meeting @ 18:00 CET (25th June 2025) Follow the live stream at lnkd.in/dBQnjJpM

Promising new treatment approach for severe COVID-19! Clinical trial with Fas ligand blocker shows faster recovery & reduced mortality. Approach targets immune overreaction, potentially effective against future viruses too. #COVID19 #Science #PublicHealth t.ly/6kalU

Honored to have had the chance to organize the 30th Anniversary @ECDOorg Meeting together with Michael Heneka in Luxembourg @lcsb_uni_lu! Amazing community, inspiring science! It was fantastic to catch up with the field! Big thanks to all speakers & everyone who contributed!

Particularly happy my former group members, @PeltzerNieves and Diego de Miguel, both now independent Principal Investigators, signed as co-senior authors on this study. My congrats also to first author Yu-Guang Chen for his outstanding work! #Uni_Stuttgart #IISAragon #NDMC

‼️Happy to share our study on #LUBAC mediating the tumorigenic potential of #LTBRsignalling. Amazing team work and super happy to be part of it!! @UKKoeln @uclcancer #IBMG @Uni_Stuttgart @sfb_1403 @sfb1399 #sfb1530 @cddpress nature.com/articles/s4141…

Congratulations and thanks to Song who finished this work from Taiwan while curing cancer patients. To Diego de Miguel who intensely worked on this on top of other exiting projects and a job making RNA vaccines and to Henning @Walczak_Lab, an ocean of opportunities.

Very excited about our recent publication in Cell Death & Differentiation @SpringerNature Many thanks to all contributors and the great collaboration! #ucl #UniCologne #NDMC #UniStuttgart #IISAragón nature.com/articles/s4141…

Congrats to the winners of the #Ubiq24 Short talk 👏 Great job @Alexis_Betr from our lab!

✨What a group!✨Some fantastic research shared so far and there’s still much more to come. We’re looking forward to some down time in the Portuguese sunshine to rest and reset for this afternoons session #Ubiq24

What a great kick-off to this year´s #Ubiq24! Exciting talks, stimulating discussions and great weather- we are looking foward to the coming days @Fusion_Conf

It was a great pleasure hosting Dr. Phuong-Hien Nguyen as a part of the CANTAR seminar series.

Now in print! Thrilled to share our most recent paper on FasL pathology: @cddpress @PeltzerNieves @LiccardiLab @PardoGalvez_Lab Identification of FasL as a crucial host factor driving COVID-19 pathology and lethality ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

It was great to welcome @Linkermann_Lab in Cologne for an exciting talk on ferroptosis sensitivity. Thank you! #celldeathclub #ferroptosis @UKKoeln

We are very much looking forward to being part of this year's @Fusion_Conf in Lisbon with an amazing list of speakers #Ubiq24 Hope to see many of you there!

First paper from the lab! CDK9 inhibition can overcome resistance to chemotherapy in SCLC and efficiently prolongs survival in an autochthonous #SCLC model. Congratulations Lucas! And thanks to all our collaborators! Check out our study here rdcu.be/dIxdb
