🚨ANDROCONNECT WEBINARS ARE BACK🚨
From PhD to industry impact - Dorte Egeberg shares her journey into the European Sperm Bank, navigating imposter syndrome, applying research skills in a commercial setting, and breaking taboos around sperm donation. Join us on 22.05.2025 at 15:00 CEST

Now it’s the turn for Dr. Anne Jørgensen’s talk (Herlev and Gentofte Hospital), giving us molecular insights into the underlying mechanisms of sex-specific development of human fetal gonads. #17NYRA is full of an exciting diversity of topics!

The last day of #17NYRA started with the fascinating talk of Dr. Elizabeth Bromfield (Bio21 Institute, University of Melbourne) about the protein modifications as potential novel targets of male contraception! Lots of cool phosphoproteomics data to start the Sunday 🙌🏻

The scientific sessions of the first day finish with a very thought-provoking #debate about male contraception, sponsored by the #MCI. Amazing pro/cons arguments raised by young andrologists about current societal and scientific challenges! #17NYRA

The scientific speed dating was so fun! During our favourite NYRA flagship activity, attendees, board members, and speakers mixed to better know the research they develop 🧪🧬 A very fun way to find your next collaboration! #17NYRA

After the coffee break, the program continues with the presentation of Dr. Judit Castillo (@ub.edu) about the epigenetic information contained in the sperm chromatin. Super excited to learn about the career path and scientific work of a former NYRA board member! 🤩 #17NYRA

Very inspiring first plenary session in which Dr. Geert Hamer (@amsterdamumc.bsky.social) is sharing with us his exciting research journey in the male germline across his career ⭐️ #17NYRA

The #17NYRA meeting just started! Full room of motivated young researchers ready to share cool science & network before #ETW2025 in The Netherlands 🇳🇱 very nice opening from the NYRA president and main organizers 🙌🏻

The last day of the 1st #NYRASchool is coming to an end. Now it’s time for general Q&A and open discussion between students and trainers!

#NYRASchool in Omics for male germ cells is unraveling fabulously!👾
Even the organising committee and the teachers are learning from each other. Absolutely priceless!

Proud of my @youngandrology.bsky.social 💡

Thursday started fully immersed in single-cell RNA-seq data analysis! We are learning how to annotate, plot, and interprete UMAPs - and realizing that our biological background in male germ cells is a key complement to the bioinfo analyses! #NYRASchool

Learning about sample preparation for Single Cell RNA-seq with practical tips from Sara di Persio 🧬
#NYRASchool

The first part of #NYRASchool is wrapped up this morning.
In addition to mastering the Bulk-RNAseq data analysis, Lena shared valuable tips on data visualisation. 📊
Our vulcano plots and heatmaps were pieces of art 🎨

After learning how to process bulk #RNAseq data this morning, students are fully immersed into differential expression analysis! #NYRASchool

Our fifth plenary speaker for #17NYRA meeting is Judit Castillo!!
