Hej from @au.dk where the European Workshop on Interferon Research is currently taking place.
Richard presented his exciting work on Yellow fever virus and we have very interesting discussion.
Thanks to Rune Hartmann and Hans Henrik Gad for hosting this great meeting!

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!

Wrap-up for this years #HCVFlavi2025 meeting. It was a great conference with lots of new input. Can't wait to take the new ideas to the lab.
See you all next year in Copenhagen for #HCVFlavi2026!

Representing RUB @ruhr-uni-bochum.de at #HCVFlavi2025 conference. If you are on-site and interested in #hepatitisE check out Posters 10-15 to learn what's cooking I'm our labs @mmv-rub.bsky.social and www.tracir.de 🥣🚀

Kick-off to #HCVFlavi2025! We are looking forward to exciting talks and to discuss our science with old and new friends. Thrilling days in Singapore ahead 🇸🇬 🚀

We are happy to announce the release of our new homepage:

tracir.de

Over there you can find everything about the team 🥼, our research 🔬, how to contact us 📲, and more!

Go ahead and have a look 😎

As our group ist growing and a fresh homepage is on the way, we figured we need nice portraits and group photos 😎
So today @tremark.bsky.social from the @ruhr-uni-bochum.de media team visited our lab and we had a full blown photo shooting putting us into the spotlight 📸 #TRACiR #smile #science

🏊‍♀️🧪 Gold in the pool, precision in the lab: Our student Theresa Bechtel takes home 🥇🥇 at the 🇨🇭Swiss Championships – after 2x🥈 & 2x🥉 in the 🇩🇪Nationals this May!
Excellent science and top-level sports? Absolutely compatible!

What a milestone!
Max successfully defended his PhD @ruhr-uni-bochum.de !
We are incredibly proud of his work, his dedication, and the journey we've taken together. From an idea to a full-grown project to a brilliant thesis – what a ride!
Huge congrats, Dr. Nocke – couldn't have wished for more. 🚀🎓

Great first day at #ViBioM2025!
If you are interested in our research @ruhr-uni-bochum.de, come find us anytime or stop by posters B05, B11, and B27!

Ever experienced problems mining #virus sequence #databases? This might help: Max presenting his new method on sequence projection and k-means as novel approach for virus genotyping at #GfV2025 (@gesvirologie.bsky.social). Feel free to reach out!

One of those rare and truly rewarding moments: holding the physical copy of a journal where our article made it to the cover! A huge thank you to the whole team for their incredible work that led to this success!
