Kicking off the DIG4BIO Training School — A Strong Start in Berlin

🚀 Kicking off the DIG4BIO Training School — A Strong Start in Berlin

We have successfully completed the first two days of the DIG4BIO Training School — An Introduction to Automated Research at TU Berlin 👩‍🔬🤖👨‍🔬

This hands-on program brings together researchers from IST and TU Berlin to explore:
🧪 High-throughput bioprocessing & robotic labs
💻 Advanced computational tools
📊 Process analytical technologies & data management

Highlights from Days 1–2
✅ Definition of scientific objectives for a high-throughput experiment
✅ Hypothesis building within a controlled design space
✅ Preparation of scripts, SOPs, materials & analytical plans
✅ Lab tour and team integration on site

This phase also marked the beginning of a publication-oriented workflow — turning experiments into a coherent scientific narrative around Vibrio natriegens cultivation.

Next up:
 🔬 Experimental execution & analytics
 🧠 Data evaluation in November

Huge thanks to the TU Berlin team — Prof. Peter Neubauer, Rosa Haßfurther, M. Nicolas Cruz B. & Annina Kemmer — and to all IST & TUB participants for their incredible engagement so far 🙌

More updates coming soon — stay tuned! 📡
