Enigmatic loop in the genome

The regulation of genes is incredibly complex – and even a bit more complex than was previously thought – shows a new study in “Molecular Cell”. In the genes which determine the fate of every cell, a splitting of the DNA double helix is not a reason for cellular despair, but is part of an important safety mechanism.

“It’s important that we explain our research”

The MINT400 Forum in Berlin brings together teachers and schoolchildren from all over Germany. Two researchers from the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC) are offering workshops at the networking meeting – partly because one of them was once a teacher himself.

“We’re expecting the world’s elite immunology researchers”

In late February, the MDC will be hosting the first Immunology & Inflammation Conference – or I & I Conference – in Berlin. We spoke with the two organizers, Professors Michela Di Virgilio and Klaus Rajewsky, about the conference’s aims and its program.

“Haressment doesn’t happen in a vacuum”

In late January, the Anti-Harassment Task Force started its work at the MDC. More than 50 employees from all areas and across all hierarchies will develop guidelines for respectful interaction. To mark the launch of the task force, we spoke with the project facilitator, Professor Sabine Oertelt-Prigione.
