With the Helmholtz Pioneer Campus, HelmholtzMunich established a global talent hub and innovation campus – for the development of novel solutions that make a difference in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Our podcast hence provides a forum for established & future biomedical entrepreneurs, aimed at crystallizing some of the ‚secret ingredients‘ for rapid and successful knowledge translation toward societal benefit. Enjoy and regularly check back, as we develop this global series – leading up to our international BioEngineering 2024 conference (May 6/7th) in our brand-new PioneerCampus building.

Helmholtz Pioneer Campus researchers Vasilis Ntziachristos and Janna Nawroth represent complementary branches of bioengineering: Nawroth mines basic research on the structure & function of organisms to develop novel technology; Ntziachristos applies his engineering know-how and approaches to create new solutions for biomedical problems. We also spoke with Duke University’s Nimmi

"Cell identity is generated from the epigenetic interpretation of the genome.” Conversations with Maria Elena Torres-Padilla, Boyan Bonev and Wolf Reik

Jan 15 2024 53 mins  
Helmholtz Pioneer Campus researchers Maria Elena Torres-Padilla and Boyan Bonev discuss how the organism uses the same epigenetic toolkit to perform tasks as diverse as maintaining the totipotency of stem cells and differentiating cortical neurons. Wolf Reik discovered some of the first molecular mechanisms responsible for epigenetic imprinting of the genome. As the Director of the
