FOR5504

The DFG-funded Research Unit (FOR) 5504 aims to understand the physiological causes and consequences of genome instability.

Amazing retreat of the DFG Research Unit @FOR5504 on the Physiological Causes and Consequences of Genome Instability and the Institute for Genome Stability in Aging and Disease with keynotes by @APoetsch and @George_Garinis

🧪Move over CUT&Tag, there’s a new #TranscriptionFactor mapping method in town.
Our newly developed DynaTag is faster, cleaner, more sensitive than #ChIPseq, #CUT&RUN and #CUT&Tag.

🧵Here’s why DynaTag is so powerful(1/7)

Overall, repeated mRNA vaccination led to sustained epigenetic changes at promoters, priming immune cells for robust responses.
Huge thanks to @UniCologne, #CMMC, @sfb1399, @crc1678, @FOR5504, #Fritz_Thyssen_Foundation & everyone who supported this project!

We’re thrilled to welcome @GiselaSlaats as today‘s seminar guest! Looking forward to her insights on DNA damage response in renal ciliopathies. An exciting opportunity to dive deeper into genome instability and renal disease!

It is a great honor to be recognized by @FEBSnews . This award serves as a significant encouragement for my future academic career! @imbmainz @FOR5504

[Björn Schumacher @schumacherbj]

I am very much looking forward to welcoming the German DNA Repair community to Cologne this month together with @spanier55 and @PfanderLab . Our conference is booked out to the last seat. Great mix of international leaders, young and upcoming scientists presenting their work.
