In only 4 days, we’re combining theory and practice: the training module of HRP 2025 covers protocols, tools, and expert insights — from digestion to data analysis.
Perfect for anyone entering the field or refreshing their skills.

Three instruments, one goal: the Kaiser Lab Agilent setup is now ready to contribute to our harmonization mission.
Side by side with Thermo and Bruker, this is harmonization in action.

Behind every workshop, there’s serious logistics: last week we welcomed the Thermo system that will power part of our experimental module.
Big thanks to everyone who made this happen!

Our experimental module is the heart of the workshop:
3 platforms, 1 benchmark dataset, and a clear mission — harmonize how we measure modified RNA.
Get ready to generate data that shapes the future.

This new preprint was designed so poorly that it provides absolutely no proof that mRNA vaccines caused cancer/other diseases.
It compared 10 (!) handpicked sick patients to 803 healthy patients. And behold, they show different RNA expression profiles. Because they were sick.

You thought Glu/Asp don't like RNA or DNA? Maybe you even introduced them into your protein to stop such interactions?

Think again! New paper @angewandtechemie.bsky.social with Wöhnert lab shows structural context matters for phosphodiester interactions!

Protonated Glutamate and Aspartate Side Chains Can Recognize Phosphodiester Groups via Strong and Short Hydrogen Bonds in Biomacromolecular Complexes

Phosphodiester groups occur ubiquitously in nature, e.g. in nucleic acids or in cyclic (di-)nucleotides important for signal transduction. Proteins often use polar or positively charged amino acids t...
