Had a great 2-day retreat in Bad Sassendorf 🌟
We discussed the organization of our group, developed new teaching concepts and brainstormed fresh project ideas 🔬
Between good food and cold drinks, we also enjoyed some rounds of werewolf, with a fun twist incorporating #HEV 😎

What a great meeting in Velbert last week 🔬
Under the title Advances in #HepatitisE Virus Infection Research, over 50 participants shared ideas and insights on clinical aspects, antiviral strategies, viral entry and replication 🧪
This is an amazing community, thanks to all of you 👇

Die Situation mit der H5N1-"Vogelgrippe" ist besorgniserregend– unglaublich viele Vögel (einschl. Nutzgeflügel) sind in 🇩🇪 bereits an dem Virus verendet oder mussten gekeult werden. Auch Säugetiere (Stichwort: Rinder) können sich anstecken.

Getting ready for single cell sequencing!
Yesterday we had training on the Chromium GEM-X device from @10xgenomics.bsky.social that we recently set up in our lab.
Excited to apply this fascinating technology in our future projects and collabs on hepatitis E virus infection!
