Thanks for the science, talks, posters, chairing, discussions, helpers in back & front. See you latest at #GfE2028 for more #DevBio & oidsks for all the fish, plants, mice, worm, flies, frogs, squids, brown algae, human, -oids, whatnots and you. 13115
Thomas Thumberger & Team glyco @thomthum.bsky.social · 10/03/2026Going to a GfE Meeting like #gfe2026 is like meeting friends & family. On the train with fellow COSians (@COSHeidelberg.bsky.social). 161
Thomas Thumberger & Team glyco @thomthum.bsky.social · 09/03/2026Things progress. PhD students graduate, labs change. The door of the glyco lab a.k.a. ‚the sugar cube’ closed as we moved one door further. All that remains is a LEGO memory of it (#Klemmbaustein). Thanks for all the good science, games and fun @encarnischezsal.bsky.social and @kpakari.bsky.social 351
Thomas Thumberger & Team glyco @thomthum.bsky.social · 03/07/2025Proud of Kaisa Pakari @kpakari.bsky.social to receive the 2025 Schmeil young researcher award for her #PhD thesis. She established 🐟 models to address disorders of #glycosylation #CDG by advancing #baseediting range for precise genome editing @wittbrodtlab.bsky.social @cos.uni-heidelberg.de 1143
