Halloween in Sawitzki Lab 🎃🧙🕸️
We are at the #EMBLSpatialBiology: Melting Pot in beautiful Heidelberg this week!
Exciting poster session today where also Matthias and Adrian shared their work.
#ESSB2025
Excited to share our new study on how age-related changes in STAT signaling impact antiviral responses and hyperinflammation in COVID-19!
🧵 Explainer thread by the first author Lev Petrov linked below ⬇️
📣 We are looking for a master student to join us at the @bihatcharite.bsky.social to work on an exciting project in the field of #cancer and #spatialbiology! 🔬

Adrian and Birgit are in Porto this week for a meeting of the TOP-GUT #MSCA Doctoral Network.
Lots of fun sharing recent discoveries, planning collaborations and getting hands-on training on organoid culture. 🙌
Waking up our sleeping beauty!
Super excited to have Xenium and PhenoCycler now running in the same room 🤩

📣 Job alert! 📣
We are are looking for a talented bioinformatician to join us at the Berlin Institute of Health at Charité to analyze multiomics data in post-COVID-19 and ME/CSF syndrome research.
Please share and come join us! ⬇️

We’re excited to be a part of the Swarm Learning Initiative, working to accelerate immune response analyses in infectious diseases!
Anika, Lev, and Birgit joined the 1st Swarm Learning Symposium at @dzne.science, where Anika shared innovative concepts for ex vivo functional analyses. 📈

Exciting to see this story out — showing that children with MIS-C have high levels of TGFβ, which weakens T cells and reactivates EBV. Blocking TGFβ reversed this effect, making this a potential treatment option!
Proud to have contributed our part!
Visited two events with a focus that was new to me - on tech- and methodology.
Helpful, technical input and discussions that are often lacking in broader events!

Single Cell & Spatial Discovery Symposium by 10X Genomics - Munich, Germany
Happy Valentine's Day! 🫶

Great pleasure, @katherinedeane.bsky.social!
As part of BIH Diversity Month, Katherine Deane visited the BIH@Charité and stopped by our lab.
Katherine is a renowned expert on accessibility and inclusivity, and we had great time discussing ways to make our lab and the broader scientific community more inclusive!
Lucas @lucasarendholz.bsky.social is presenting his project on post-COVID syndrome (long COVID) at the 8th German Mass Cytometry User Forum in Jena, Germany! 🙌
We're exploring how EBV-driven T- and B-cell communication disruptions impact patients across all age groups. Our aim is to uncover disease mechanisms, identify biomarkers for early diagnosis, and develop targeted therapies. 💡
We're thrilled that the CURE-ME project received funding from the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research!
Together with experts from Charité and @tumuenchen.bsky.social, we are investigating the role of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in triggering autoreactivity and post-infectious #MECFS.
Protesting budget cuts for research and education in Berlin! #SaveBrainCity
Congratulations to Julia Stein for earning her Dr.rer.nat. degree from the @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social with a stellar PhD defence last week! Well done, Dr. Stein! 🎓
#Immunosky #PhD #SciSky
Very exciting week for Sawitzki Lab! 🎉 We moved into brand-new lab spaces at the Rahel Hirsch Center for Translational Medicine (BIH & Charité). Plus, we made the leap to Bluesky! 🚀
Thank you for doing this! Please add us. 🙂
