Come and see posters of the lab at #ESHG2024 – Pia is presenting P20.013.B (award candidate) this afternoon and Mohan will present P16.084.D tomorrow afternoon. Very different work studying non-coding sequence effects with our collaborators at @NadavAhituv lab and @JShendure lab.

[Martin Kircher @KircherLab]

Very proud of our PhD candidate Kilian presenting to a full audience at #ESHG2024. Congratulations to this great talk!

[Martin Kircher @KircherLab]

#ESHG2024 is up to a great start in Berlin! So happy to see Svante filling the lecture hall at 8:30am :)

We mourn the loss of a great person. Our close collaborator Prof. Michael Speicher from MedUni Graz died suddenly last weekend. Michael was an outstanding scientist and good friend to all of us. Our thoughts are with his family, friends and lab members.
