Staburo @ PSI/EFSPI Vaccines Statistics Workshop

On October 23, 2025, Staburo, represented by Tim Müller, attended the PSI/EFSPI Vaccines Statistics Workshop at the GSK site in Wavre. The workshop brought together a focused group of highly knowledgeable statisticians and researchers working in vaccines and infectious diseases. 

Tim enjoyed meeting familiar and new faces, and had engaging discussions with speakers and participants alike. Sessions on surrogate and correlates of protection, Bayesian methods, and modeling approaches sparked particularly interesting conversations. 

GSK was great at hosting the event on their site, providing an excellent setting for knowledge exchange and collaboration. Overall, it was an inspiring day that highlighted the exciting work happening in infectious disease statistics. Staburo is proud to contribute to this field and looks forward to continuing these discussions with peers and collaborators. 

Staburo contributes to bioinformatic analysis in a Phase 2 chronic kidney disease (CKD) study

We are pleased that part of our work got published as a scientific article in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences on November 7^th, 2025.

In this publication, we supported the bioinformatic analysis in a study investigating the effect of Vicadrostat monotherapy or in combination with Empagliflozin on urinary extracellular vesicle microRNA expression.

Staburo assisted in data analysis and visualisation, as well as in biological interpretation, identifying the modulation of miRNA profiles under the treatments in the study, highlighting the potential use of microRNAs as biomarkers for disease activity and treatment response in CKD.

Staburo contributes to bioinformatic analysis in psoriasis phase 2 study 

We are pleased that part of our work has been published as a letter to the author in the Journal of investigative dermatology. 

In this publication we supported the bioinformatic analysis in a study investigating the effect of spesolimab on microRNA expression in generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP). It was the first time investigating the role of microRNAs in both skin and blood samples of patients with GPP. 

Staburo assisted in data analysis and visualisation as well as in biological interpretation and identified a set of 5 core microRNA that showed consistent dysregulation in GPP and modulation upon spesolimab treatment.

Staburo at Wiesn 2025

On 25 September 2025, the Staburo GmbH team came together to enjoy a fun evening at the Oktoberfest in Munich. This yearly tradition was a wonderful opportunity to connect beyond the usual work environment, as employees, including many of our remote colleagues, gathered in person to share an unforgettable day. 

Alongside a few clients, we enjoyed the unique Oktoberfest atmosphere with traditional Bavarian food, music and, of course, a few beers. The lively conversations and shared experiences highlighted the strong relationships that make collaboration at Staburo so successful. 

Some colleagues even embraced the festive spirit further by heading to the rollercoasters and rides after the tent celebrations. 

Events like these are an important part of our company culture, bringing people together and strengthening partnerships. We’re already looking forward to next year’s Wiesn!
