#mdcberlin — Public Fediverse posts

Our spin-off "Captain T Cell" raised €8.5 million in seed funding. Focused on developing T cells to target solid #tumors, Captain T Cell intends to use the funds to move a new generation of #Tcell therapies closer toward clinical application.

The #startup builds on years of research and innovations. It utilizes technologies developed at the #mdcBerlin, which provided financial and infrastructural support throughout the pre-seed phase and remains a close partner.

#BerlinBrains2023 on Tour & Mittwoch am @BIMSB_MDC: "Die heimlichen Helfer des Gehirns." #mdcBerlin-Forscherin Susanne Wolf und Josef Priller (@ChariteBerlin) sprechen über die Rolle von Mikroglia bei #Schizophrenie oder #Depression. Eintritt frei‼️ #BrainAwarenessWeek #BrainWeek

Infizierte Zellen beseitigt die #Immunabwehr – die #Evolution sorgte dafür, dass toxische Immunbotenstoffe da wirken, wo sie gebraucht werden. Wie das funktioniert, zeigt die AG Blankenstein am #mdcBerlin in @NatImmunol: https://www.mdc-berlin.de/de/news/press/wie-sich-die-koerperabwehr-selbst-schach-haelt @ChariteBerlin @SanderStiftung

A newly discovered #immunodeficiency in children should expand the catalogue documenting such diagnostic genes. Researchers from #mdcBerlin, ECRC and Charité Berlin identified a mutation in a transcription factor that plays a key role in the #ImmuneSystem: https://www.mdc-berlin.de/news/press/inborn-immunodeficiency-discovered-and-explained
