Rowing against Cancer 2025
In the ATLAS community we are united in our endeavour to turn scientific discovery into clinical applications to fight pressing diseases such as cancer. Here in Mainz, this goal not only unites TRON and BioNTech but also medical institutions and families and friends of cancer patients.
In this context, the annual charity regatta „Rudern gegen Krebs (Rowing against Cancer)“ is organised under the sponsorship of local partners such as BioNTech to support the “Stiftung Leben mit Krebs”. On 24.08.2025, 70 boats started in this year’s rowing competition. The TRON PhD Team, the TRONados with Lukas Merz, Janina Freitag, Til Wanner and Sophia Thevissen on board, stormed the final and placed third overall. We congratulate them on their strong performance and team spirit!
