Fiona Edenhofer

such a cutie

🎉 Big congrats to Fiona Edenhofer for defending her PhD! 🎓
In her thesis on the evolution of GRNs, she performed cross-species CRISPRi screens and helped establish primate iPSC lines.
Fiona was key for many social events and brought the Kölsch to Munich.
We will miss you and wish you all the best!

Out now: we’re happy to share our new preprint on CroCoNet (Cross-species Comparison of Networks), a framework for robust comparative network analyses.

Identification and comparison of orthologous cell types from primate embryoid bodies shows limits of marker gene transferability

New paper from the group!
📃 doi.org/10.7554/eLif...
We investigated orthologous cell types in primate EBs and found that marker genes don't transfer well across species.
