That seems like quite a stretch: replication forks running into nicked DNA template parental strands forming seDSBs and then using telomeres to study the underlying repair mechanism...yes, a big story. My task: condense it into a 10 min talk to get the best feedback! #sfb1361
SFB 1361 member - Dr Natalie Schindler (@scientistwithheart.bsky.social) - shares a preview of her short talk at our upcoming conference 👩🏫

We are excited to share that our #SFB1361 alumni, Dr Gabriel M. C. Longo, received a Walter Benjamin Fellowship to support his postdoctoral research in the Kleinstiver lab at Harvard Medical School/Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston.
Congratulations! 🎉🎉
Last week, our amazing PhD student Dominik Stroh represented the lab at the 8th EU–US Conference on Endogenous DNA Damage & Repair in Trondheim, Norway 🧬🇳🇴
He nailed his poster and short pitch. Great job sharing your research with the international DNA repair community! 🙌

We’re excited to welcome Susanne Gerber from the University Medical Center Mainz as an associated member of the #SFB1361! 🎉
Her expertise in bioinformatics and cutting-edge nanopore sequencing protocols will advance genomic and epigenomic research within our network.
We‘re proud to share that our #SFB1361 PhD student, Yilan Fan from the @hopfnerlab.bsky.social, has been awarded a poster prize at the CNIO-CaixaResearch Frontiers Meeting “Machines on DNA and RNA: A Molecular Mechanistic Perspective“ held on 28-30 May 2025 in Madrid, Spain.
Congrats! 🎉
Last week our #SFB1361 members gathered in Würzburg to discuss and plan for the 3rd funding period.
This 3-day retreat led to many fruitful discussions and fresh ideas! Now its time to put these ideas to work! 🔬⚗️🧬
#scientificretreat #planning #DNArepair
Our members came from Mainz, Frankfurt, Darmstadt, and Munich to Würzburg for this retreat to discuss, network, and plan for the next years.
We also took the opportunity to visit the Würzburg Residence and immerse ourselves in the art, culture, and history!
#würzburg #SFB1361 #retreat
Poster presentations, discussions, and networking.
Of course, our PhDs and Postdocs are also very much involved in this retreat.
#SFB1361 #DNArepair #scientificretreat
Our #SFB1361 is away on #retreat from today until Wednesday!
Starting off the day with most of us travelling by train to Würzburg and plenty of project updates in the afternoon!
Excited to plan for the next years and the next funding period!
