  • ECCB 2026 in Geneva

    ECCB 2026 in Geneva

    Last week, Linda attended the European Conference on Computational Biology (ECCB), the largest conference of its kind, held this year in Geneva!👩🏼‍💻🧬 With more than 1,500 participants, over 800 posters, and countless talks, the event offered impressive insight into the breadth of current research across computational biology.

    Beyond the talks, the real highlight was connecting with the community – exchanging ideas and meeting researchers with similar interests. Linda came back full of inspiration for her own projects, and, of course, also made a bit time to explore Geneva’s surroundings, history, and famous chocolate🍫😋

    Many thanks to Charles and the University Medical Center Mainz for making this trip possible!

  • Sino-German Mobility Program M-0351 | 7th Meeting

    Charles was invited to the 7th meeting of the Sino-German Mobility Program (M-0351), “Converging Pathways in Immunity – From Cells to Clinical Applications.” He presented our collaborative work with Dr. Elias Amro and Prof. Nina Papavasilou on an APOBEC2 deficiency–driven mixed T/B cell phenotype, highlighting the emergence of T/B hybrid lymphocytes.

    Beyond the excellent feedback and lively discussion, the meeting sparked valuable exchanges that are already seeding new ideas and potential collaborations.

    Many thanks to Tim Sparwasser, Peiying Li, and Alexandra Böttcher for the outstanding organization!

  • MOPITAS Autumn School on Spatial Transcriptomics

    MOPITAS Autumn School on Spatial Transcriptomics

    In November, Lenart attended the MOPITAS Autumn School on Spatial Transcriptomics Data Analysis (12–14 November 2025), held at the Munich Data Science Institute (MDSI) (https://event.sdu.dk/mopitas-school).

    The school focused on hands-on training in spatial transcriptomics, covering the full analysis workflow from raw data processing to advanced multi-omics integration. Lectures in the mornings were complemented by practical sessions in the afternoons, including small project work and pipeline comparisons, which encouraged detailed discussion of current best practices and methodological challenges in spatial data analysis.

    The program brought together leading researchers and tool developers from academia and industry. Overall, it was a very well-organized and insightful event, providing methods and perspectives that are directly relevant to our ongoing work.

  • Nextflow Summit in Barcelona

    Nextflow Summit in Barcelona

    Linda attended the Advanced Nextflow Training organized by Seqera in Barcelona. It was an inspiring opportunity to gain hands-on experience, connect with fellow bioinformaticians from around the world, and bring fresh ideas back into her daily work.
