nanodiag BW receives funding for second implementation phase - nanodiag BW Nanopore technology for next-generation molecular diagnostics: Freiburg innovation network continues development toward clinical application

Fantastic news before we enter the weekend. @nanodiagbw.bsky.social receives funding approval!

The ยปcluster4futureยซ receives 15 Mio. โ‚ฌ for their next phase making nanopore technology usable for the molecular diagnostics. Great success.

Our proteomics facility is part of the cluster. ๐Ÿ˜

PAF15โ€“PCNA exhaustion governs the strand-specific control of DNA replication Nature - PCNAโ€“PAF15 has a key role in determining replisome dynamics during genome replication and protecting against genome instability.

Dear Colleagues,

Delighted to share that our first lab paper is now published in Nature.!!! ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š

We identify a previously concealed โ€œsafety limitโ€ in DNA replication program: cells intrinsically rate-limit PCNA via PAF15, shaping strand-specific and global replication dynamics.

Professor Sir John Gurdon FRS (1933-2025) | Magdalene College Magdalene College is deeply saddened to announce the death of Professor Sir John Gurdon FRS, who served as Master of the College from 1995 to 2002.

Very sad news, John Gurdon has died.

A developmental biologist's developmental biologist, Nobel prize winner

His work is the foundation of much of today's dev & stem cell bio.

An inspiration to many, including me. Always asking questions & wanting the answers
