Use of long sleeves in the lab
by Johanne Zimmer Kjæhr 14 Mar '25

14 Mar '25

Hi Lab users, After the meeting on Tuesday, and the "what do we wear in the lab" section, we have been made aware that in the work with some chemicals it can make sense to use long sleeves to protect yourself. These chemicals are marked as follows: * H310 Fatal in contact with skin * E.g. 2-Mercaptoethanol and Sodium azide * H311 Toxic in contact with skin * E.g. Formaldehyde and QIAzol Lysis reagent * H312 Dangerous in contact with skin * E.g. Guanidine thiocyanate and BD FACS Lysing Solution 10X If you need to wear long sleeves, please use the disposable sleeves, that can be found in the storage room. Remember the first aid in case of skin contact: 1. Remove any contaminated clothes. 2. Rinse under running water and/or wash thoroughly with soap and water. 3. Contact your doctor in case of discomfort. (These guidelines have been taken directly from the 2-Mercaptoethanol WPI) It is your own responsibility to check up on the chemicals you are using and to asses the risk in your work, but if you need any help, please don't hesitate to ask 😊 Best, Johanne Johanne Zimmer Kjæhr Bioanalytiker / Laboratory Manager Johanne.zimmer(a)rm.dk tlf. +45 7845 2849 Q Research / Dept. of Infectious Diseases Aarhus University Hospital Palle Juul-Jensens Boulevard 99 8200 Aarhus N, Denmark

BCL3 flowbenches
by Malthe Andreas 11 Mar '25

11 Mar '25

There has been an issue with the flowbenches in the BCL3 lab resulting in inconsistent airflow. To ensure the proper conditions for working in the BCL3 facility, the left flowbench has been shut off. The right flowbench is thus working properly with a consistent airflow. Please keep this in mind, when planning experimental work in the BCL3 lab until the issue has been resolved and both benches are usable again.

FW: Schaller Research Group Leader Positions in Infectious Diseases at Heidelberg University
by Ole Schmeltz Søgaard 05 Mar '25

05 Mar '25

FYI From: Frauke Mücksch <frauke.muecksch(a)uni-heidelberg.de> Date: Wednesday, 5 March 2025 at 13.06 To: Ole Schmeltz Søgaard <olesoega(a)rm.dk> Subject: Schaller Research Group Leader Positions in Infectious Diseases at Heidelberg University Dear Ole, I hope you’re doing well. The foundation that generously supports my own group has just published a call for additional group leader positions at the Center for Integrative Infectious Disease Research here in Heidelberg. Applicants should work on important human pathogens (focus virology) and their interactions with the host. This is an excellent opportunity with a package that will allow young virologists to establish their research group with true independence in a highly collaborative and active research environment. As we are looking forward to meeting excellent candidates, I would be grateful if you would forward the attached advertisement to potential candidates in your group/department. If they have any questions regarding infrastructure, research environment, etc., they can feel free to contact me directly. Thank you very much! Best wishes Frauke Dr. Frauke Muecksch Schaller Research Group Leader | Virology | Department of Infectious Diseases Heidelberg University Hospital | Center of Integrative Infectious Diseases Research (CIID) | Im Neuenheimer Feld 344 | 69120 Heidelberg Tel. +49 6221 56-35643 | E-Mail: Frauke.Muecksch(a)med.uni-heidelberg.de<mailto:Frauke.Muecksch@med.uni-heidelberg.de> www.klinikum.uni-heidelberg.de<http://www.klinikum.uni-heidelberg.de/> www.ciid-heidelberg.de<http://www.ciid-heidelberg.de/>

Congrats to Thomas and ID
by Henriette Jensen Sørensen 05 Mar '25

05 Mar '25

Forwarded from Lars Østergaard and Sigrid Rasmussen ------------------------------------------------------------- Dear all, It is with great pleasure that we welcome Thomas Rasmussen as a departmental physician in a newly established position starting March 1st. The position is funded by the combined research and development buy-outs in the department and will enable Thomas to engage in clinical practice for about half of the year. The remaining time will be dedicated to research and development. Thomas has been associated with the department since 2009 and has over the years made a significant contribution to the department's core clinical tasks and its research program. His research in HIV has been highly impactful and sustainable. He has shown extraordinary international mobility, including spending more than four years at the University of Melbourne in a research leadership position. With Thomas's future affiliation with our department, we aim to broadly integrate his scientific capacity into the department's strategy for research, innovation, and development to maintain and enhance the specialty functions of infectious medicine. He has particular expertise in HIV and viral hepatitis and is intended to play a central role in the department's future strategy in these disease areas. Additionally, he will also be part of the team managing infections in patients with secondary immunodeficiencies. Thomas has also been involved in the ongoing work with ward round organization and transformation of outpatient operations. We wish to continue his engagement in these challenges and, in dialogue with the department management, undertake selected managerial tasks related to the medical group, and serve as a consistent medical representative in cooperation with the department's other professional groups in development and innovation projects. Besides the above responsibilities, Thomas will also continue his own research program in HIV and hepatitis B and strategically work to establish sustained research support for the department's research from major international funds. Best regards Sigrid and Lars
