Warum reagieren Krebspatient:innen oft anders – und manchmal sogar besser – auf Impfungen? Darüber durfte ich im Podcast „Der Code des Lebens“ sprechen. Ein herzliches Dankeschön an das Team für die Gelegenheit, meine Forschung zu Impfantworten, Organoiden und KI vorzustellen.

Vaccines have health benefits you didn’t even know about. Get your flu shots yearly, and shingles shots as soon as you are eligible.

Studying neutrophils is not easy. Exciting to see that they can acquire longterm changes associated with epigenetic reprogramming.

Excited to see this paper out. Durability is the holy grail of vaccine design. 💉 Here, we made the unexpected discovery that megakaryocytes, the cells that produce wound-healing platelets, can support long lasting vaccine immunity! #BiologyIsWild! 🧬🔬 Glad I could be part of this wonderful team!

CDC just confirmed the first severe case of #H5N1 in the US in a patient in Louisiana. This virus seems to be the same genotype D1.1 that is spreading in birds at the moment (so not the cattle genotype B3.13) that severely sickened the teenager in Canada. #IDsky 🧪

Calling all bioinformatics experts: I’m considering incorporating LLMs (like ChatGPT) as coding assistants into a beginners class on omics analysis & applied bioinformatics. Are they a help or a crutch for early learners? What’s your take on the risks/benefits? #Bioinformatics #LLMs #CodingEducation

Fascinating findings: Immune system disruptions in cancer patients can persist over a decade post-treatment. We still know so little about the long-term impact of therapies on immunity.
