🎉 Congratulations to Simon Haas and his team! They have been awarded a €150,000 Proof-of-Concept Grant from @ERC_Research. Immunotherapies leverage the body's immune system to fight cancer, and Haas' team is developing methods within the Single Cell focus of @bih_charite, #mdcBerlin, and @ChariteBerlin to predict the effectiveness of these therapies.

In a study published in "Nature Genetics," researchers at the #mdcBerlin and EMBL found that healthy people's blood #StemCells carry major chromosomal alterations. This suggests that genetic #mosaicism is normal and may potentially play a role in aging: https://www.mdc-berlin.de/news/press/genetic-mosaicism-more-common-thought
