Although Gabriele Alex and Vibha Joshi belong to different departments at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity in Göttingen, both scientists are studying the wide range of healing methods used and traditions followed in Indian society. Here they show from different perspectives how the supposed contradictions aren’t really all that incompatible in practice.
Joshi believes that this close link between Christian belief and healing has to do
Der Klaus J. Jacobs Forschungspreis wird 2011 an Michael Tomasello vom Leipziger Max‐Planck‐Institut für evolutionäre Anthropologie verliehen. Die Auszeichnung, die mit einer Million Schweizer Franken (rund 815 000 Euro) dotiert ist, würdigt außergewöhnliche Forschungsleistungen im Bereich der Kinder- und Jugendentwicklung.

In about half of all prostate tumours, there are two genetic areas that are fused with one another. When this is not the case, the exact way cancer cells originate in prostate tumours was not clear until now. An international team of scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics in Berlin, headed by Michal-Ruth Schweiger, were able to show that the genesis of this fusion-negative prostate cancer has epigenetic causes: methyl groups are distributed differently over the DNA in the cancer cells than in healthy cells. These findings may contribute to facilitate treatment of prostate tumours in future. The aberrant DNA methylations can also be used as a potential biomarker for identifying prostate cancer.
Further functional analyses link EZH2 to the aberrant DNA methylations in fusion

Dortmund, 20. September 2012 – Die Lead Discovery Center GmbH (LDC) teilt mit, dass ein innovatives Kinase-Inhibitor-Programm, welches im vergangenen Jahr an die Bayer Schering Pharma AG (Bayer) auslizenziert wurde, einen wichtigen Meilenstein erreicht hat. Bayer hat den Kinase-Inhibitor erfolgreich bis in die präklinische Entwicklung vorangebracht mit dem Ziel, ihn letztlich in die klinische Entwicklung im Bereich Onkologie zu überführen.

Problems and conflicts can arise in any working environment. It is important to address these situations and find lasting solutions. It is often not clear whether bullying is taking place. There is no uniform, internationally accepted definition of bullying. The following article should help Max Planck employees to assess whether bullying is taking place and who can be contacted in such a situation.
