Huge thank you to my fantastic team for the creativity, energy, and teamwork that made this event possible - and to @bihatcharite.bsky.social and @mdc-bimsb.bsky.social for supporting our efforts to make science more open and accessible!

Thank you, sure!

Thank you Charles!

Huge thanks to my co-first authors @dom60.bsky.social, Lea Jopp-Saile, and Schayan Yousefian for the incredible teamwork, and of course to @simonhaas.bsky.social and Daniel Hübschmann for the invaluable support and guidance! (4/4)

The computational workflow we developed to analyze the physically interacting cells is available as an open-source R package 📦
Check it out here: github.com/agSHaas/PICtR and let me know what you think! (3/4)

Our framework can map millions of cells and their physical interactions using flow cytometry - even in existing datasets. We show how these interaction maps can help predict responses to immunotherapies and unravel immune cell communication during infections 🦠 (2/4)

Thank you to everyone who helps make this such a great place to do research, and to @jungeakademie.bsky.social and @volkswagenstiftung.de for the initiative to highlight the scientists and leadership behind inspiring research environments 🔬🧬👩‍🔬
