A week in the life of Hilbert lab, in four photos. Academic work felt great this week, and I hope the photos can show it. Description and details for each photo below.

This is why AI needs wet lab... #ThereIsaidIt

A periodic reminder for all of our convenience: “The data are not good or bad. The data are the data.” “Data is king.” “Without data, all theory is crap.” 3 sentences I learned from 3 supervisors AKA the reason it’s worth spending 1/3 of my time and 2/3 of our budget on keeping a wet lab running.

Still trying to figure out what should be my take-away from these directly juxtaposed posts on AI and robotics in Shenzhen and Karlsruhe on my LinkedIn timeline…there’s a lot contained in here, but I don’t even exactly know what.

The zebrafish embryo is a great model of stem cell processes: zygotic genome activation and germ layer specification, within a single work day! Similar to mouse embryonic stem cells, we find transcriptional clusters undergo massive, global shifts. advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Exciting PhD position available in the Diepold lab @kit.edu ! We're especially interested in international students with expertise in molecular biology and ready to lead a cutting-edge research project in molecular machines and infection biology. Find out more at diepoldlab.com.

🔬 The #EMBO | #EMBL Symposium "Mechanobiology across the tree of life" is well underway here in Heidelberg. 💡 Come by our booth to talk about #photomanipulation, laser ablation, #FLUCS, and custom microscopy solutions for #mechanobiology experiments. 👋 See you at the booth! #EESMechanobiology

Did you know that stem cells have unusually large transcription clusters, which disappear upon differentiation? Yes? You paid attention in 2018! In 2026, we show you that this process proceeds via massive, global shifts in transcriptional control. advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Hear hear, Another fantastic collaborative project have seen the light! After a few years of backing...the manuscript on how "Stem cell differentiation disperses transcriptional clusters via a conserved surface-condensate trajectory" Is out 🥳🥳 🍾🍾🥂🥂 advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

If you see this image and think "ha, fly testis!", you know your stuff. If you also know how transcription clusters form and disperse during sperm precursor formation, maybe don't read our new Advanced Science paper, out today 😉 advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

What's your standard practice in methods sections for standardized, identical protocols (basic techniques like western blotting, PCR, etc)? How do you avoid text duplication and self-plagiarism across multiple manuscripts? Also, journals discourage saying "as previously described..."

There seem to be a lot of terrible revelations about ThermoFisher antibodies. Are we talking about big supplier DNA oligos yet? Had a few eye-opening experiences since starting our lab…

May the sun shine on all labs as it did on Modic and our Hilbert lab groups during our joint outing today 🌞 The photo reminds me how much we grew recently, we were even still missing several members! Most of all, the man Miha @paraspeckle.bsky.social himself, but we ate a lot of 🍕 for you.

Arriving a day late for @events.embl.org #EESPhaseSeparation But today you can already meet Aaron Gadzekpo, Mona Wellhäusser @mofrawe.bsky.social & Elly Lohrer from our group. We present several topics: nanostar simulation, signaling condensates, nuclear actin meshworks, and synthetic chromatin 😁

Got great news on a manuscript this week, extensive and long-term developed story forthcoming soon, ultimately placed in a wonderful journal. Cannot be specific, but also cannot contain myself. So here’s a weird non-factory image I generated with chatGPT, with no relation to the project at all ;-)

Completed the annual Karlsruhe running event “Badische Meile”, shaved 5 minutes off my time from last year (run distance 8,888 km). This year, @kit.edu provided shirts for participating employees and students, I’ve seen *many* green shirts in the crowd. Reminder of the role we play in this city!

Are you looking for a new challenge? We are looking for a Deep Learning Engineer. With this role you would set up deep learning infrastructures with the goal to understand genomes 🧬 and ageing 👵 .

Selected photos from Boys Day last Thursday. We welcomed 7 young bright minds to our lab. They learned about options to study biology, train as lab technicians, and connections with physics, maths, materials and computer science. Offered by Iliya Stoev and our Hilbert Lab members via Center SynGen.
