#ThemeDay25
Hernessing eukaryotic retroelement proteins for transgene insertion into human safe-harbor loci
Starting the 2. day of the #DGGTeV #GenomeEditing #ThemeDay with a highlight:
the Keynote Lecture of Kathleen Collins from @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social on retroelement proteins for #GeneTherapy
Science never sleeps - but sometimes it is better discussed over a few drinks.
PhD Students, PIs and Industry gathering to promote #GeneTherapy in a relaxed atmosphere.
Time for networking and discussions, for building collaborations and lasting friendships at the #DGGTeV #DinnerEvent at Pulverturm

The first day of the 2025 #DGGTeV #GenomeEditing #ThemeDay is concluded with a tour of the German Hygiene Museum Dresden to revisit past breakthroughs and find inspiration in the dedication to science and health.
See you tomorrow for the Keynote of Kathleen Collins @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social
Session 3 is all about the clinical applications
@uniregensburg.bsky.social, MHH, Uni Tübingen, @goetheuni.bsky.social, @tum.de
present current challenges and novel solutions.
