Hey fellow venom ECRs, At the last IST conference in Singapore, a major topic was the need to establish a better networking platform form the next generation of toxinologist. As such (with some delay) I have set up a dedicated X community for us, where we can exchange on all

I am thrilled to announce I have secured an European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant (1.5 MILLION euros!) to study the #genomics of miniaturisation in vertebrates! Press release: news.ku.dk/all_news/2024/…

Newest paper from the lab, the first dissertation chapter of my amazing PhD student Lennart Schulte and the first outcome of my DFG public | @[email protected] grant „FunVen“ published in The Royal Society Open Science. Fully black (i.e. melanistic) adders are in Central European folklore referred to as

Newest lab paper out in npj Biodiversity spearheaded by my stellar PhD student Josephine Dresler looking into the neglected realm of 🕷️ #venom #enzymes. When you look into 🕷️📖, you will read that their venoms are mostly composed by neurotoxins and that enzymatic compounds are rare.

Many congratulations to my incredible PhD student Josephine Dresler for winning the best oral presentation award at this year’s Fraunhofer IME PhD retreat. This makes a back-to-back win for her at this event🤘😎 well deserved Josi! #proudPI LOEWE Centre Translational Biodiversity Genomics Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft ProLOEWE

Thrilled to share that the #Fraunhofer society recently released an issue of the Fraunhofer magazine which highlights all the antiinfectives research done across the different institutes. A snippet of that article features my lab’s effort to transform 🕷️🐍🦂 toxins into

Ever wanted a short and sweet 10 minute podcast between an arachnophobe and an arachnologist discussing spiders? Then I have just the recording for you. shows.acast.com/corks-96-fm-op… Big thank you to Cork's 96FM for having me on! #spiders #zombiespiders #arachnophobia

Newest paper from the lab out at Biotechnology Advances! Spearheaded by my brilliant postdoc Dr. Maik Damm 🐍, we take a deep-dive to #Ms-#Imaging in #zootoxinology. The manuscript contains a quick guide to the technology, a summary of how it has been used so far, and a reflection on

Happy to share that this small friend was born today! My Habilitation, officially submitted, contains 20 papers on venom biodiscovery and Evolution on ca. 400 pages. Thanks to my amazing team and colleagues who made this possible! Josephine Dresler Dr. Sabine Hurka (@hurkasabine.bsky.social) et al
