Einstein Professor Kallol Ray and Einstein Visiting Fellow Wonwoo Nam will bring together international coordination chemistry researchers in Berlin-Adlershof from 4 to 6 July. Our Managing Director Thorsten Wilhelmy will deliver the welcome address.

To what extent are results from progression-free survival in cancer trials biased by informative censoring and trial design? As a guest of the Einstein Circle Causal Inference from Observational Health Data, Miquel Serra-Burriel will give a lecture at the BIH in English. Registration (for digital or on-site participation) is required.

Portrait Max Sprang

#AskDifferent 51 - In this episode of AskDifferent, bioinformatician and Einstein Foundation Early Career Awardee Maximilian Sprang takes us into the hidden world of errors in genomic data. Why do sequencing studies sometimes produce impressive-looking results that later fail to replicate? What happens when tiny technical glitches masquerade as biological discoveries - and what does that mean for patients and precision medicine? Sprang explains how his team detects and even deliberately introduces errors to understand them better, improve software tools, and make genomic research more reliable without throwing "messy" data away. *Please note: the informational insert is AI-generated*
