We are looking for exceptional MSc and PhD students! 👩‍🔬🧪🔬🧑‍🔬🧫💩 If you're interested in exploring the interface between gastrointestinal tract immunity and the microbiota in various diseases and combining basic science with NGS in the best environment possible - send me a DM

Hamburg news: The ⁦CKLab⁩ and collaborators used iCROP-seq to identify TH17 cell plasticity as a potential new therapeutic target in autoimmunity. ⁦HCKH_Hamburg⁩ ⁦UKE Hamburg⁩ ⁦Universität Hamburg⁩ science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

If you want to learn more about ODE-based modeling of longitudinal single-cell data to gain a better understanding of immune dynamics check out AdlungLab Systems Immunology s most recent paper doi.org/10.1038/s41540…

Beautiful paper from the AdlungLab Systems Immunology :) the first one out of many! Congrats!!!!

Slowly, I gain a better and better understanding why bile acids should be closer to my heart (in a metaphorical way only!) Nature Metabolism nature.com/articles/s4225…

Wonderful conceptual work. Must-read if you seek inspiration on modelling!

You knock out enteroendocrine cells from the small intestine and your metabolism goes berserk! nature.com/articles/s4225…

Great work in Nature Cancer on how to utilise single-cell data to predict cancer patients' response to different drugs. I see wide applicability even beyond tumours! nature.com/articles/s4301…

Game changer alert!!! 🧫 🦠 Discovery of antimicrobial peptides in the global microbiome with machine learning: Cell cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

I like this concept of intestinal tuft cells: weep, sweep … secrete - Nature Rev Immunol nature.com/articles/s4157…

I'm honoured to be awarded the Dr. Liselotte-Brauns Research Prize for Internal Medicine this year. Great feedback for my project ideas, can't wait to put them to the test 🤓 stiftung-drbrauns.de stiftung-drbrauns.de/die-preistraeg…

Great piece by Charlotte Bunne et al. on optimal transport for single cell and spatial omics. Really curious about practical implications in the future: nature.com/articles/s4358…

One thing we know, another thing we can't avoid: Infection and aging partially converge in spatial transcriptomics data of mice. Great work by our good friend and esteemed colleauge Fabian Kern 🦋 @fabianmkern 👏 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
