Präzisionstherapie-Cluster
SaxoCell returns from Munich after this year’s Clusters4Future experience exchange.
Over two days, the seven clusters from both the first and second rounds of the competition had the opportunity to network and exchange ideas on key topics like cluster management, sustainability, and industrial collaborations. Representing us were SaxoCell spokesperson Frank Buchholz, along with Maren Henneken and Stefanie Binder from the Hub team.
This year’s hosts were Munich-based clusters MCube and CNATM. In addition to their thematic focuses on mobility and nucleic acid therapies, Best Practices on cluster sustainability, such as those presented by BioRN, were shared. During the panel discussion, participants received valuable insights into attracting young talent and skilled professionals, as well as transitioning Clusters4Future to the second funding phase. An open dialogue with representatives from the BMBF and Projektträger Jülich rounded off the meeting.
As in the past two years, the annual exchange provided an ideal opportunity to gain new insights, learn from one another, and reconnect with long-standing contacts. We’re looking forward to next year!
SaxoCell is pleased to announce that it has been selected by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and an independent expert jury for a second phase of funding in the Clusters4Future initiative.
We are very happy about this as it highlights the potential and achievements of SaxoCell, a pioneering cluster for innovative cell and gene therapies.

BMBF Clusters4Future press release
Once again this year in Dresden, science enthusiasts of all ages had the chance to get to know SaxoCell and learn about the latest advances in cell and gene therapy in discussions with our hub team.
Our tried-and-tested games and craft materials were available at our booth, including the colourful magnetic fishing game on CAR-T cell therapy and the entertaining immune cell quiz. We were delighted to welcome so many curious visitors at our stand!
The enthusiasm and curiosity of the visitors made the event truly special. Seeing so many people eager to learn about scientific advancements and participate in our activities was incredibly rewarding. We look forward to continuing this tradition and sharing more exciting developments at future events. Thank you to everyone who joined us and made the night unforgettable!
At the beginning of June, our two-day SaxoCell retreat was a resounding success, offering a perfect blend of productive discussions and engaging activities. PIs and scientists from our projects and platforms, members from the SaxoCell Hub as well as our Scientific Advisory Board representatives gathered at Congress Hotel Chemnitz.
Our agenda was packed with insightful discussions, innovative pitches, and a comprehensive outlook on our future projects and perspectives.
The highlight of our retreat was the team challenge, where we formed eight teams to build spaghetti towers – aiming for the highest – fostering creativity and teamwork. The winning tower measured 70 centimetres! There was also a winner of hearts which was not as high but very stable and ready long before the end of the challenge.
Our SaxoCell Retreat 2024 not only strengthened our professional bonds but also provided valuable insights and renewed enthusiasm for our collective goals. Thank you to everyone who was part of this event! It was great to get to know each other apart from desk and bench!

SaxoCell Retreat 2024
Unser zweitägiger SaxoCell-Retreat Anfang Juni war ein voller Erfolg und bot eine perfekte Mischung aus konstruktiven Diskussionen und spannenden Aktivitäten. Projektleitende und Forschende aus unseren Projekten und Plattformen, Mitglieder des SaxoCell-Hubs sowie Vertreter:innen unseres wissenschaftlichen Beirats kamen im Congress Hotel Chemnitz zusammen
Auf unserer Agenda standen aufschlussreiche Diskussionen, innovative Pitches und ein umfassender Ausblick auf unsere zukünftigen Projekte.
Den Höhepunkt des Retreats bildete die Team-Challenge, bei der wir acht Teams bildeten, um Spaghetti-Türme zu bauen – mit dem Ziel, den höchsten Turm zu erreichen – und so Kreativität und Teamwork zu fördern. Der Siegerturm war 70 Zentimeter hoch! Es gab auch einen Sieger der Herzen, der nicht so hoch, aber sehr stabil war und lange vor dem Ende der Zeitnahme stand.
Unser SaxoCell Retreat 2024 hat nicht nur unsere berufliche Verbundenheit gestärkt, sondern auch wertvolle Einblicke und neue Begeisterung für unsere gemeinsamen Ziele generiert. Vielen Dank an alle, die an dieser Veranstaltung teilgenommen haben! Es war großartig, sich abseits von Schreibtisch und Labortisch kennenzulernen!
Auch in diesem Jahr hatten Wissenschaftsinteressierte jeden Alters in Dresden die Chance, SaxoCell kennenzulernen und die neuesten Fortschritte in der Zell- und Gentherapie in Gesprächen mit unserem Hub-Team zu erfahren.
Am Stand durften auch wieder unsere bewährten Spiel- und Bastelmaterialien ausprobiert werden, u.a das bunte Magnetspiel zur CAR-T-Zelltherapie und das unterhaltsame Immunzell-Quiz. Wir waren begeistert über die wieder so zahlreich erschienenen neugierigen Besucher!
Enthusiasmus und Neugierde der Besucher machten die Veranstaltung zu etwas ganz Besonderem. Es war unglaublich bereichernd, so viele Menschen zu sehen, die sich über wissenschaftliche Fortschritte informieren und an unseren Aktivitäten teilnehmen wollten. Wir werden diese Tradition fortsetzen und bei künftigen Veranstaltungen weitere spannende Entwicklungen präsentieren. Vielen Dank an alle, die dabei waren und diesen Abend unvergesslich gemacht haben!
SaxoCell kehrt begeistert zurück aus München vom diesjährigen Erfahrungsaustausch der Zukunftscluster.
An zwei Tagen hatten die sieben Cluster der ersten sowie die sieben Cluster der zweiten Wettbewerbsrunde die Möglichkeit, sich untereinander zu vernetzen und zu wesentlichen Themen wie Clustermanagement, Verstetigung und Industriekooperationen auszutauschen. Mit dabei waren unser SaxoCell-Sprecher Frank Buchholz sowie Maren Henneken und Stefanie Binder vom Hub-Team.
Gastgeber in diesem Jahr waren die beiden Münchner Cluster MCube und CNATM. Neben thematischen Schwerpunkten Mobilität und Nukleinsäuretherapien wurden Best Practices zur Clusterverstetigung, etwa von BioRN, vorgestellt. In der Paneldiskussion erhielten die Teilnehmenden wertvolle Impulse zur Nachwuchs- und Fachkräftegewinnung sowie zum Transfer der Zukunftscluster in die zweite Förderphase. Ein offener Austausch mit dem BMBF und dem Projektträger Jülich rundete das Meeting ab.
Wie in den beiden Jahren zuvor, bot auch dieser Erfahrungsaustausch eine ideale Gelegenheit, neue Eindrücke zu gewinnen, voneinander zu lernen und alte Kontakte aufzufrischen. Wir freuen uns auf das Treffen im nächsten Jahr!
SaxoCell wurde vom Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) und einer unabhängigen Fachjury für die zweite Förderphase im Clusters4Future-Wettbewerb ausgewählt!
Wir freuen uns sehr, denn diese Entscheidung unterstreicht das enorme Potenzial und die bisherigen Erfolge unseres Clusters für innovative Zell- und Gentherapien.
