@mdc-berlin.bsky.socialCongratulations to Henri B. Kagan and Kenso Soai on receiving the 2026 #NobelPrize in Chemistry! 🎉
Their work on asymmetric synthesis helps explain how chemical reactions can favor one molecular mirror image – with implications for medicines and the chemistry of life. 👇
@mdc-berlin.bsky.socialCongratulations to Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann, and Georg Nagel on the 2026 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine! 🎉
We’re especially delighted for Berlin-based Hegemann, whose work helped lay the foundations for optogenetics – now an important tool in research at the #mdcBerlin and beyond. 👇
@mdc-berlin.bsky.socialHow does H. pylori set the stage for stomach cancer?
@sigal-lab.bsky.social has traced how the bacterium triggers a chain reaction that reprograms cells in the stomach lining and drives precancerous changes that can lead to stomach cancer.
The findings are published in @natcomms.nature.com.
@mdc-berlin.bsky.socialHow do calcium channels open in sync?
Like cogs in a clock, neighboring RyR1 channels help set each other in motion. Researchers at #mdcBerlin have now revealed how this “coupled gating” works — and why faulty coordination may contribute to muscle disease.

@mdc-berlin.bsky.socialWe’re hiring a Diversity Officer (m/f/d) to help turn our DEI goals into meaningful change across the #mdcBerlin.
Excellent German and English are required. Part-time position (19.5 hours/week) based at our Berlin-Buch campus. Apply by October 9, 2026.
@mdc-berlin.bsky.socialFrom literature searches to data management and publishing – our new DIP Services department supports #mdcBerlin researchers throughout the research process.
Meet DIP head Stefanie Seltmann and learn how her team advences open science and reproducibility:
@mdc-berlin.bsky.socialCaveolae help cells withstand mechanical stress, take up nutrients, and regulate signaling. How are these tiny membrane structures stabilized?
#mdcBerlin researchers have now resolved the structure of the EHD2 protein chain that does the job.
Learn how it works:

@mdc-berlin.bsky.socialCongratulations to Klaus Rajewsky on receiving Emory University’s 2026 Max Cooper Prize in Immunology! 🎉
The award recognizes more than six decades of contributions that helped shape modern immunology. Klaus continues his research at the #mdcBerlin today.
@mdc-berlin.bsky.socialMore CAR T cells don’t necessarily mean more effective treatment.
Researchers, including #mdcBerlin's @simonhaas.bsky.social, identified a specific subgroup linked to successful low-dose therapy – and a potential biomarker for more personalized treatment.
@mdc-berlin.bsky.socialIn the future, could stem cells help treat diabetes? And what makes organoids so promising?
This Friday, #mdcBerlin's Scientific Director Maike Sander and fellow experts discuss the future of stem cell research.
