Once again this year, the ImmunoSensation Cluster of Excellence is celebrating the Day of Immunology, which will take place worldwide on April 29, with a digital event.

Together with the TRR237, ImmunoSensation2 and the IRTG2168 the TRR259 is organizing a film screening event showing the movie: PICTURE A SCIENTIST. PICTURE A SCIENTIST chronicles the groundswell of researchers who are writing a new chapter for women scientists. Biologist Nancy Hopkins, chemist Raychelle Burks, and geologist Jane Willenbring lead viewers on a journey deep into their own experiences in the sciences, ranging from brutal harassment to years of subtle slights.

Rabiul Hosen (TRR259) and Venkata Naga Srikanth Garikipati are editing a special issue of the American Journal of Physiology-Cell Physiology on "Exploring the Noncoding Human RNA", inviting submissions from researchers in this field.

Maria Laach, Germany - The TRR259 embarked on its second funding period with a successful Kick-Off Meeting held at the Seehotel Maria Laach on October 18-19, 2023.
