West German Genome Center | WGGC

Ist die DNA der Schlüssel zu unserer Gesundheit? Im Bürger-Universitätsprogramm letzte Woche disktuierten Prof. Dr. Dagmar Wieczorek, Prof. Dr. Klaus Pfeffer und Prof. Dr. Heiner Fangerau mit dem Publikum nach einem fesselnden Vortrag von Dr. Anna-Maria Möller.

@denbi.bsky.social is the next days at the #EPPS25 in Bonn. We teamed up with @wggc-de.bsky.social for a workshop and with #phenet for a booth. #plant #phenomics @sebastianbeier.bsky.social

🧬 🐭 Hosted "Türen auf mit der Maus" buff.ly/DqeVhkK, where 60+ kids extracted banana DNA and explored densities. Huge thanks to our team for their support. Refreshments by EOTH e.V. eoth.info Join us next year!
