Scientific exchange, interdisciplinary dialogue, and community spirit were at the heart of this year’s three-day Biozentrum Retreat in Olten. The event was again a highlight in the annual program of t...
Join us for our next Discovery Seminar with guest speaker Prof. @Sergiu P. Pașca from @stanforduniversity.bsky.social, presenting “Building Human Neural Circuits: From Stem Cells to Organoids to Assembloids and Beyond.”
On May 29, we’ll welcome our next speaker, Dr. Tam Mignot from Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique @cnrs.fr , for our Discovery lecture: “Bacterial predators: invisible pillars of soil ecosystems”
Join us to explore the microbial complexity of soils and the role of bacterial predators.
In a new study, Prof. Anissa Kempf's team demonstrates in fruit flies that gut function is linked to feeding, sleep, and survival. Their work adds to growing evidence that the gut communicates with the brain and can influence behavior. 🧪@unibas.ch #ScienceAdvances @snsf.ch
🧪Protection for newborns
Meningitis is rare in newborns but often dramatic. Researchers @biozentrum.unibas.ch @unibas.ch and @ethz.ch have developed a preventive approach that stops harmful bacteria in their tracks before transmission even occurs. @snsf.ch @natcomms.nature.com Learn more 👇
Anne Grahl took a leap into the unknown and found her place in venture capital. In our latest alumni portrait, she shares why listening is an important skill, how science trained her to think critically, and why sometimes the hardest part of the job is saying “no” to great ideas. Read the interview👇
🧪 A new study led by Dr. Janani Durairaj and Prof. Torsten Schwede shows that current AI models in drug discovery still face limitations. Learn more👇 @ninjani.bsky.social @torstenschwede.bsky.social @unibas.ch @snsf.ch @natureportfolio.nature.com
