Excited to share our first preprint with Judith Zaugg 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…

A question of identity - amazing work by Moritz Mall and Judith Zaugg labs from DKFZ and @EMBL on cell plasticity in #liver #cancer. Congrats to all authors, especially Bryce Lim & Aryan Kamal!

Excited to attend #ISDN2024 and share our work!

Bald ist es soweit: Der 1. #HelmholtzHealthSummit findet am 08.10. statt. Michael Baumann, MD, Vorstandsvorsitzender des DKFZ, ist auch dabei und wird einen unserer Heroes präsentieren. ➡️ Alle Infos und Anmeldung hier: t1p.de/s8nx3 #HelmholtzHealthHero

👩‍🎓So proud of our very first #PhD @aureliasaftien for successfully defending her thesis on #fungi 🍄. Thanks Aurelia for all the awesome science, legendary memes, and shaping the Microbiome & Cancer Elinav Lab at DKFZ division PhD student culture. Congrats Dr. Saftien! 🎉

Curious which methods (not) to use for identifying differentially abundant bacteria and how to deal with confounders in your microbiome study? Check out our new paper! genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Great DKFZ Immunology Infection and Cancer seminar afternoon with Kai Kretzschmar from Universität Würzburg #UniWürzburg. Fascinating insights on Kai's & his group's work on stem cells & differentiation patterns in the oral cavity and related cancers!

Great #NVBMB #conference experience with the Christian Büll Lab at Radboud University yesterday! Nice (and long...) roadtrip with the Epithelium Microenvironment Interaction Lab @ DKFZ team 😀

Do you want to take a leading role in shaping a research group on functional cancer microbiome work, including coordination of an European Research Council (ERC) grant and national consortium? Join our Epithelium Microenvironment Interaction Lab @ DKFZ team in Heidelberg as Staff Scientist! Details: jobs.dkfz.de/en/jobs/167155… Pls Retweet😀

It is a great pleasure to announce today the launch of the NobsLab! Located at the University of Zurich, we will study microbiome-immune interactions and how they regulate diseases of the lung, in particular infection and chronic inflammation.

#bacteria cause mutations in #cancer - but only if they stick to host cells. Brilliant study from Lars Vereecke lab in nature: nature.com/articles/s4158… Our accompanying perspective with @kyannaouyang: nature.com/articles/d4158… Lots of implications for new CRC prevention approaches!

🗣️We are happy to announce that #BaCell3D 2025 is happening! We are very excited to welcome you in Basel between June 23-25, 2025 at the ZLF hall of University of Basel 🎉 Join us in exploring the forefronts of #stemcell and #organoid research! 🪩 Stay tuned for more details⏳

Thrilled to see Epithelium Microenvironment Interaction Lab @ DKFZ DKFZ among the 12 new cancer research labs featured in Nature Cancer for "The 2024 generation". I loved reading the other authors' reflections on their career paths and ideas for their labs! Have a look: rdcu.be/d3R8r

.Jens Puschhof, head of the junior research group Epithelium Microenvironment Interaction Lab @ DKFZ at DKFZ, is one of twelve early-career researchers who embarked on their independent research paths in 2024. Nature Cancer ➡️ rdcu.be/d3R8r

Do you want to study #cancer #microbe interactions using #organoids and #organ #chips? Have a look at our guide to in vitro co-culture platforms, just out in International Journal of Cancer with Hans Clevers Eran Elinav Jens Puschhof and my fellow Epithelium Microenvironment Interaction Lab @ DKFZ colleagues: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ij…

Our new #organoid #organchip #coculture review. Congrats Kamil Moskal, Yeseul Lee, Luisa Siegert, Nimisha Khurana from Epithelium Microenvironment Interaction Lab @ DKFZ DKFZ! Cool experience connecting the dots between in organotypic models and microbiome with Hans Clevers and Eran Elinav!

I've never been more excited to be (a very minor) part of a collaboration than this tour-de-force by Microbiome & Cancer Elinav Lab at DKFZ ElinavLab. Groundbreaking approach to figure out where all those proteins in your stool come from. Congrats Rafael Valdés, Avner Leshem, Danping Zheng, Eran Elinav!

That was a great conference indeed- thanks to the Chairs for organizing a fantastic program addressing key questions in the field!

Looking for a #postdoc position at the intersection of #cancer and the #microbiome?
