Last night Science Slam with a full house at Tollhaus, as part of @kit.edu Science Week. As one of four slammers, our PhD student Mona Wellhäusser @mofrawe.bsky.social entertained a huge audience, putting fish in jello for microscopy, (optically) slicing a pumpkin. Great show, fantastic atmosphere!

If you are at GBM compact "Focus on Condensate Biology", we will be happy to talk to you at our lab's posters: Mona Wellhäuser, MC15 @mofrawe.bsky.social Yuzhi Bao, CA03 @yuzhibao.bsky.social Lennart Hilbert, MC06 Conference abstracts: gbm-compact.org/abstracts.html *sketch added as click bait

Molekulare #Bionik: Der Zellkern als Vorbild für DNS-basierte #Computerchips. Forschende des #KITKarlsruhe (u. a. @lennarthilbert.bsky.social) nutzen zelluläre Informationsverarbeitung als Inspiration für die #Biotechnologie. www.kit.edu/kit/pi_2025_...

"Chromatin-associated condensates as an inspiration for the system architecture of future DNA computers" Highly conceptual Perspective article, supported by fresh data & simulations from our group. Containing my now 40 years of accumulated "wisdom". nyaspubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Our first expansion microscopy results. Imaged today on "normal" Zeiss LSM 900, revealing chromatin and RNA polymerase II clusters at an unreal level of detail. Our PhD student @mofrawe.bsky.social learned the protocol from amazing @mpownall.bsky.social 🙏 Months of preparation are paying off now!

Posters & pizza workshop event between @kreysinglab.bsky.social , Levkin lab, and ourselves Hilbert lab, also joined by Miha Modic @paraspeckle.bsky.social Now already the second annual repeat, third will make it a tradition 😀 It also happened to be Pavel’s bday, hence cake and champagne 🥂

Guten Morgen an unsere deutschsprachigen Lesenden 🌞 Hier die @kit.edu Pressemitteilung zu unserer kürzlich erschienenen Arbeit im Biophysical Journal. Wir untersuchen, wie bewegliche Gensequenzen das Genom “umkrempeln“ www.linkedin.com/posts/lennar...
