As always, the lab has been busy. Several lab members have left the lab, and we bid farewell to them. In August, we barbecued in the forest to celebrate the time that Cécile and Manuel spent with us in the lab. Cécile won a UZH Doc.Mobility grant and is visiting at Yale, whereas Manuel is continuing as a postdoc at Harvard.

The past few months at the lab have been very busy, but we still found some time for social events. We continued our now annual tradition of entering a team into the SOLA Stafette event at the start of May, and then followed it up by having a few entries at the Forchlauf at the start of June, followed by the SOLA Duo at the end of June.

The SOLA-Stafette is a bit of an ‘institution’ in Zürich, and again this year the KrauthammerLab is taking part! We are running the 114.7 kilometres (2’747 m in altitude) in aid of Cancer Research at the Comprehensive Cancer Center Zurich, and we would welcome all donations through the below link.

The Stafette is made up of 14 legs of different lengths, divided up among our 14 team members.
Last week, our Lab went to the Zoo of Zurich and had a nice Christmas dinner with Fondue at “Chäsalp”.
First, we spent the afternoon in the zoo where we could observe many interesting animals.

Last month, the Krauthammerlab and four other bio-informatics groups (Boeva, Menze, Rätsch and Vogt labs) from the ETH, UZH and USZ organized their first joint event. The goal of the evening was to meet and learn more about the research activities of the different groups.
Each of the PIs gave a talk, introducing their lab and giving some background on the projects they are working on.
Afterwards, all participants (PIs included!
I read Donald Gillies’ book “Causality, Probability and Medicine” a while ago and wanted to give a brief comment and overview of the content. There is no conflict of interest, this blog post simply represents my personal experience. I am neither promoting the book nor have I received funding for this article.
About the author Donald Gillies studied Mathematics as well as Philosophy of Science at King’s College Cambridge and received his PhD from Cambridge University.
