Open postdoctoral position to dive into new avenues!

We are advertising an open postdoctoral position in a new collaborative research project on stem cell heterogeneity and Wnt signaling in rhabdomyosarcoma, jointly hosted by our group at Heidelberg University and Christel Herold-Mende (University Hospital Heidelberg), combining direct access to patient tumor material, primary cell culture, drug screening platforms, and advanced spatial omics and imaging …

Research visit to Heidelberg – New collaboration with the Taylor Lab and exciting Mef2 research!

We were very pleased to host Chelsea Stevenson, a visiting PhD student from the Taylor Lab in Cardiff, for a research stay in our lab at Heidelberg University. During her visit, Chelsea became an integral part of the lab, contributing enthusiastically to ongoing projects and helping to establish an exciting new research direction focused on …

Our first preprint is out!

We’re excited to share our latest work, with key contributions from Laura Schütze and Maria Musillo, and many helping hands across the lab. A true team effort! We uncovered a spatially distinct population of muscle progenitors that remains less committed due to graded Wnt/β-catenin signaling, which represses Mef2. This reveals a new layer of spatial …

Well done, Bilyana!

Bilyana successfully completed her B.Sc. thesis in our lab, and we are proud of her progress and achievements. We are also happy that she will continue supporting our research as a Hiwi during her master’s studies at the University of Heidelberg.

Welcome, Mugdhaa!

We are pleased to finally welcome Mugdhaa, a new master’s student from India, to our lab after some hassle with obtaining her visa. We look forward to the fresh perspectives and contributions she will bring to our team.
