<![CDATA[WALDVOGEL LAB - highlights & trivia]]>Mon, 09 Mar 2026 14:19:31 +0100Weebly<![CDATA[New Chapter >> TUM]]>Wed, 27 Nov 2024 09:55:22 GMThttps://www.waldvogel-lab.com/highlights--trivia/new-chapter-gtgt-tumI am thrilled to share that I will be joining the TUM School of Life Sciences as a Professor for Global Change Limnology. The Waldvogel lab will move to the Research Station in Iffeldorf starting April 2025! 

This opportunity marks an exciting new chapter in my academic and professional journey. In my research and teaching I will focus on bridging limnology with genomics —an integration that I believe holds immense potential for advancing our understanding of aquatic ecosystems. 

I look forward to collaborating with brilliant colleagues, inspiring students, and contributing to the cutting-edge research and innovation for which TUM is renowned.

A heartfelt thank you to all my mentors, colleagues, and collaborators who have supported and encouraged me along the way.

We are very happy that the CRC1211 has been granted a third phase. Our subproject (B08) will be continued and we are able to proceed our research seeking to understand evolutionary strategies of survival under extreme desert conditions in free-living soil nematodes.
The project again is a collaboration with the worm~lab of Dr. Philipp Schiffer (Uni Cologne) and Dr. Oleksandr Holovachov from the Natural History Museum in Stockholm.​

 Yes we can - sequencing on the road!
Driving home from the field course at the Lower Rhine last week, our ONT MinIon metabarcoding run continued sequencing. Except of slight increases in temperature after 2h on the road with a not working air con in the car, the sequencing ran smoothly and we ended up with a nice data set. 
Now we feel prepared to move the on-site sequencing to more extreme environments: Atacama Desert Field School to happen in September 2023!

Priming BioC² - Biodiversity Genomics Center Cologne

This project will interconnect our lab and the worm~lab (AG Schiffer) with the MPI Plant Science, The Regional Computing Center (RRZK) and the West German Genome Center (WGGC)  to build a fundament for a strong biodiversity genomic cluster in Cologne.

International Symposium on "Reference genomes for biodiversity"
     -> hosted by the Institute of Zoology @UniCologne, Germany
     -> 5-8 September 2022  

Are you interested in species across the tree of life with tricky, fascinating, pan-, polyploid or giant genomes?
Then join us in the beautiful city of Cologne to discuss recent advances and challenges in the field, and how we move forward as a scientific community in Germany and Europe. This symposium brings together leading scientists of all disciplines working on biodiversity genomics. 

Registration is open @ http://derga-biodiversity.de/symposium

As a member of the Institute of Zoology (IfZ), the ecogenomics group is proud to join this year's Cologne CITY CYCLING competition. This competition involves completing as many daily journeys as possible in an environmentally-friendly manner using your bike over a 21-day period. Cycling for an impact to change traffic and infrastructure developments in our city.

Now it is time to build the Waldvogel Lab. I am very much looking forward to diving into my own research program and performing more exciting ecological genomics reseach! There will also be some job postings soon...]]>
