Katsuhiko Hayashi from the University of Osaka joins the MPI-IE SGS Lecture Series – hosted by @denbobalab.bsky.social Hayashi is a leading pioneer of in vitro gametogenesis (IVG) – a revolutionary technique that creates functional gametes from stem cells & enabling bipaternal conception.
Big conferences are impressive. But how often do you actually meet someone there? 🤔 The Epigenetics Meeting was created differently. We have a great line-up of speakers with exciting research topics, ample time for discussion, and very familiar setting. Join us now: events.ie-freiburg.mpg.de

Yesterday, half of #Freiburg’s business world gathered at the Europa-Stadion: 5k company run #b2run. We were there too – driven by curiosity – with runners from the @flurylab.bsky.social @julianeg.bsky.social @jumanaaha.bsky.social labs & other departments of the MPI-IE. Congrats to all finishers! 💪
😎 Our lecture hall was pretty packed. Almost 100 researchers from the TriRhena region and beyond came together for the latest edition of the Gene Regulation Club at MPI-IE. Thanks to everyone involved: @igbmc.bsky.social @fmiscience.bsky.social, @cibss.bsky.social @biologyunifreiburg.bsky.social, …
We cooled down the city of Freiburg a bit (currently 23°C) to heat up for the upcoming TriRhena Gene Regulation Club at the MPI-IE. The ½ day symposium starts today at 2PM in the lecture hall – with scientists from @fmiscience.bsky.social, @igbmc.bsky.social & MPI. Looking forward to a 🆒 meeting.
