Last week we had the pleasure to welcome the next generation of scientists in one of our labs. It was an inspiring day filled with hands-on learning in the lab and exciting conversations about science. The girls were not only able to gain their first experiences at the lab bench, but also get insights into the daily life of our researchers and the work of our Excellence Cluster.
The day started with an introduction into lab work and safety, explained by two young CPI members Annika and Clara. Then it was time to go to the lab bench!
Annika and Clara both study neurovascular interactions in the cardiopulmonary system and showed the girls how they perform their research on tissue samples. From tissue stainings, over Kryo-slicing to confocal microscopy, the girls gained lots of insights into Annika's and Clara's work.
Two of the girls were so inspired that they are already planning to come back for an internship! We can’t wait to see where their passion for science takes them!

Today is International Women's Heart Day! To mark the occasion, the Women’s Heart Center at the University Hospital Frankfurt is hosting a campaign day dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of women's heart health. Cardiovascular diseases continue to be the leading cause of death among women. "Heart prevention with early detection and treatment can help prevent cardiovascular disease." explains Director of the Women's Heart Center Dr. Lena Seegers.

The Von Behring-Röntgen-Stiftung awarded Dr. Cheng-Yu Wu with a funding of 116,600 € for his research on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), one of the most serious lung diseases worldwide.
COPD-patients suffer from a strong inflammatory reaction in the lungs, enhanced by oxidative stress and the body's own protective mechanisms no longer work. The main causes of COPD are air pollution and smoking.
In his work, Dr. Wu investigates how the weakened antioxidative defense mechanisms contribute to the progression of the disease. He combines basic research, preclinical models and clinical data to understand the connections between oxidative stress and inflammatory reactions. These insights will help to develop new therapeutic approaches and target the needs of individual patients.
Since 18 years, the Von Behring-Röntgen-Stiftung has been supporting medical research of the Justus-Liebig-University Gießen and Philipps-University Marburg. In this year, ten projects were honored with funding of 1,6 million Euro in total. The awards were handed out at the award ceremony on Wednesday, January 15, in the Landgrave's Castle Marburg.

Von Behring Röntgen Stiftung: 1,6 Millionen Euro für medizinische Spitzenforschung
Highlights from the Science Day at Justus-Liebig-University Gießen’s Medial Department.
19 early-career scientists from the CPI presented their research in poster sessions and lightning talks. From regenerative medicine to the future of AI in diagnostics, the day was packed with innovative research and inspiring networking!
🏆 A special shoutout to Stefan Ahlgrimm for winning the poster prize on clinical/patient-oriented research with his work on therapeutic strategies for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis!

Congratulations to Professor Mauro Giacca on receiving an honorary doctorate at the University Frankfurt’s “Dies Academicus” ceremony, in recognition of his exceptional contributions to Molecular Biology. His groundbreaking work has significantly advanced the fields of gene therapy, stem cell research, cardiovascular disorders, and infectious diseases.
Throughout his career, Professor Giacca has held numerous prestigious leadership roles. He has served as Professor of Molecular Biology at the University of Trieste, Italy, Professor of Cardiovascular Sciences at the King’s College London, UK and Director-General of the International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB).
Among his most remarkable achievements is the identification of a crucial microRNA promoting heart regeneration, along with the discovery of unexpected novel targets for cardiac repair (Ruozi et al, Science Translational Med 2022; Eulalio et al, Nature 2012; Lesizza et al Circ Res. 2017; Gabisonia et al, Nature. 2019).
We look forward to welcome Simon Carlile at the Herold Lab, where he joins as a EU researcher supported by the Marie Sklodowska-Curie initiative. His project will focus on pneumonia-induced trained immunity as a driver of pathogenic inflammation within the lung (Trained_Lung).
Welcome to Simon Carlile, New EU Researcher at Herold Lab! - Pulmonary Infections
