Human Diseases Models Morphological Phenotyping (MorphoPHEN) consists of an integrated and interdisciplinary Erasmus Mundus Joint Master. It is conceived to alleviate the real shortage of experts in morphological mouse phenotyping, which is needed to generate a positive impact of preclinical biomedicine and improve human translatability (from the bench to the bedside). MorphoPHENis a one-year Erasmus… Read more

More than ten million sequences of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus had to be examined by an international team of scientists to find universal weaknesses of coronaviruses that do not change even with frequent mutations and the emergence of new variants. Analysis of patient samples then revealed rare antibodies that block all previously known SARS-CoV-2 variants, as… Read more
