    Simplified COVID-19 testing using isothermal amplification (LAMP): easier to perform, even without expensive lab equipment, and very scalable. See our new paper (with and VL Dao Thi) in Science Translational Medicine.

    We are happy to share a preprint containing a protocol for SARS-CoV-2 RNA extraction from swab samples using magnetic beads in 96-well format. Thanks a lot to many Ph.D. students and people involved in this project ,

    Want to work with us on large-scale testing for Covid19?

    A bridging postdoc position in molecular biology is available in my lab to work SARS-CoV-2 testing using next gen RT-LAMP-sequencing towards massive scaling-up of testing - see our preprint on medRxiv:

    Fascinating that we can now *see* how the SARS-CoV-2 virus assembles itself in the cell. Preprint with cryo-EM tomography by an Bartenschlager labs:

    Hier eine technische Analyse der zum Datenschutz beim Proximity-Tracing durch solche Apps: Das Ganze ist natürlich nicht perfekt, aber wahrt die Privatsphäre doch so gut wie es eben machbar ist. (2/2)

    Die "Corona-Warn-App" ist endlich fertig. Ich finde, wir sollten sie alle installieren, denn sie könnte wirklich helfen, Covid unter Kontrolle zu halten. Ich denke, die verwendete Methode wahrt den Datenschutz doch so gut wie es eben möglich ist. 1/2

    Please consider downloading the German "Corona Warn App" for proximity tracing if you live in Germany. Having read the 's quite critical assessment of the data protection risks (), at least I nevertheless feel the benefits clearly outweigh the risks.

    Different subclones of a patient's cancer react differently to treatment: how to study this, combining patient material, single-cell RNA-Seq, and in-vitro assays? See our new Nature Cell Biology paper:

    How to judge distances in single-cell data? Our paper on "Sleepwalk" has now appeared in Genome Research (since the preprint now with a thoroughly revised Discussion).

    How can we quickly test large numbers of people for Covid-19? Is RT-LAMP an option? In Heidelberg, we have tested this assay on hundreds of patient samples:

    The curse of dimensionality can be brutal at 9 dimensions already. Illustrated here, great read! Also: the military invented adjustable seats, who knew!

    I’m a statistician, and this article really surprised me. There’s no such thing as an average person.

    NEW: a lot of data on reported Covid deaths is highly suspect, so we’ve been looking into excess mortality — how many more people than usual have been dying around the world in recent weeks? Story by me, & (free to read):

    In my 7 days on one of our (now 12!) non ICU units, I admitted 58 patients for COVID rule out, of whom 50 tested positive. Two died (DNR), 2 went to hospice, and 5 went to the ICU. That is… not my typical gen med service week. Following, some clinical observations.

    Gemeinsam das Coronavirus verfolgen! Gib hier kurz Bescheid, wo du wohnst (einfach nur Postleitzahl) und ob du dich gesund oder krank fühlt, -- und wir zählen, ob in einer Gegend ungewöhnlich viele Menschen krank sind.
