First DZG Heidelberg-Mannheim Day was success. Cross-discipline discussions will boost health research in Germany. Thanks to DZIF in particular Stephan Urban for organizing this first meeting. #DZHK , #DKTK , #DZIF , #DZL , #DZPG and #DZD

Impressions of Day 4 of #EMBOCardioBiology 📸

The conference ended with keynote speaker Eric N. Olson Eric N. Olson on genetic correction of heart and muscle disease and Johannes Backs awarded the prizes for best posters 🎉🏆

Spectacular turnout and discussion EMBL Events #EMBOCardiobiology , Johannes Backs! Such a privilege learning and presenting to this interactive group (and also seeing old friends). I’ll keep coming back to this one!

My mind is racing with excitement. We had the inaugural ‘The new Cardiobiology meeting’ at EMBL Heidelberg. Thanks to EMBO for support. Thanks to all participants onsite and virtually for making this possible. #EMBOCardioBiology

I am humbled and so pleased that cardiovascular world experts came to Heidelberg this week to the 1st International CRC1550 Meeting to discuss science with our trainees. High quality meeting which needs to be repeated in 2026. #CRC1550

Lunch panel discussion ‘Closing the gap between academia and industry’ at #EMBOCardioBiology

Welcome to #EMBOCardioBiology 🙌🎉
Hope you will enjoy the next 4 days packed with brilliant sessions about cardiovascular research.

The conference was opened by Johannes Backs followed by the keynote from Christine Mummery about hiPSC models.
