Getting ready for single cell sequencing!

Yesterday we had training on the Chromium GEM-X device from @10xgenomics.bsky.social that we recently set up in our lab.

Excited to apply this fascinating technology in our future projects and collabs on hepatitis E virus infection!

Wrap-up for this years #HCVFlavi2025 meeting. It was a great conference with lots of new input. Can't wait to take the new ideas to the lab.
See you all next year in Copenhagen for #HCVFlavi2026!

Representing RUB @ruhr-uni-bochum.de at #HCVFlavi2025 conference. If you are on-site and interested in #hepatitisE check out Posters 10-15 to learn what's cooking I'm our labs @mmv-rub.bsky.social and www.tracir.de 🥣🚀

Kick-off to #HCVFlavi2025! We are looking forward to exciting talks and to discuss our science with old and new friends. Thrilling days in Singapore ahead 🇸🇬 🚀

We are happy to announce the release of our new homepage:

tracir.de

Over there you can find everything about the team 🥼, our research 🔬, how to contact us 📲, and more!

Go ahead and have a look 😎

As our group ist growing and a fresh homepage is on the way, we figured we need nice portraits and group photos 😎
So today @tremark.bsky.social from the @ruhr-uni-bochum.de media team visited our lab and we had a full blown photo shooting putting us into the spotlight 📸 #TRACiR #smile #science

🏊‍♀️🧪 Gold in the pool, precision in the lab: Our student Theresa Bechtel takes home 🥇🥇 at the 🇨🇭Swiss Championships – after 2x🥈 & 2x🥉 in the 🇩🇪Nationals this May!
Excellent science and top-level sports? Absolutely compatible!

What a milestone!
Max successfully defended his PhD @ruhr-uni-bochum.de !
We are incredibly proud of his work, his dedication, and the journey we've taken together. From an idea to a full-grown project to a brilliant thesis – what a ride!
Huge congrats, Dr. Nocke – couldn't have wished for more. 🚀🎓

Great first day at #ViBioM2025!
If you are interested in our research @ruhr-uni-bochum.de, come find us anytime or stop by posters B05, B11, and B27!

Ever experienced problems mining #virus sequence #databases? This might help: Max presenting his new method on sequence projection and k-means as novel approach for virus genotyping at #GfV2025 (@gesvirologie.bsky.social). Feel free to reach out!

One of those rare and truly rewarding moments: holding the physical copy of a journal where our article made it to the cover! A huge thank you to the whole team for their incredible work that led to this success!
