Staburo @ Wiesn 2024

Just a few days ago, the Staburo annual Wiesn event took place, marking yet another unforgettable Oktoberfest celebration with our team and clients. The Oktoberfest has become a cherished tradition at Staburo, and this year was no exception.

We were fortunate once again to secure enough tables—this time accommodating 70 seats—in the lively Bräurosl tent, where the entire team, along with long-time customers, gathered for an evening of laughter, singing, and dancing. Some of our more adventurous colleagues also took on the exhilarating roller coaster rides, adding to the fun!

With our diverse and ever-growing international team, we were delighted to have even more first-time Oktoberfest visitors join us this year, experiencing the magic of the Wiesn for themselves.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the 2024 Wiesn event such a wonderful and fun experience. We’re already looking forward to celebrating again next year!

Safety & Health @ Staburo

Workplace safety and health is something we at Staburo take very seriously as part of our employer responsibility. 

That is why we completed a first aiders refresher training together with nine Staburo colleagues a couple of weeks ago.

The first aiders training was an insightful session at the ADAC training center in Munich. It was a hot day, but full of fun and engaging moments, as we practiced various scenarios  We feel well prepared to provide first aid to our colleagues in case of injuries.  

In addition, our health day 2024 will take place soon and will cover safety topics and a wide range of health topics. We are already looking forward to the latest health tips and some healthy activities in the office in October. 

Team Event @ Kletterwald

A few days ago, the Biomarkers team came together for a team-building event at Kletterwald München. All nine team members, Laura Schlieker, Adelina Khoroshevskaya, Rebecca Freudling, Sarah Mwiberi Juckel, Maria Blanco, Gilary Evans Vera Nuñez, Stephan Bischofberger, Tim Müller and Maria Stark, participated in a 4-hour climbing session that began with a detailed safety introduction. They tackled various climbing parcours, each designed with different levels of difficulty to challenge them. 

Despite the rain, they continued to climb and enjoyed the experience. A break halfway through allowed the team to rest and refresh with coffee, tea, and other beverages before completing the remaining parcours. 

Following the climbing session, the team gathered in Giesing for a meal of pizza and pasta. It was a good opportunity to discuss the day’s activities and further strengthen our team’s connection. 

The event was successful in building teamwork and providing a unique, shared experience.  

Staburo Summer Party 2024

Staburo’s Highlights from PSI 2024

From June 16-19, our Staburo colleagues Markus Waser, Yesilda Balavarca, Laura Schlieker, Hannes Buchner and Rebecca Freudling attended an enlightening PSI conference at the Beurs van Berlage, Amsterdam, covering topics like Bayesian Borrowing, Estimands, and Biomarkers ESIG. The presentation on “Neurodiversity at Work” and its panel discussion on Tuesday were particularly impactful. Social events, including a memorable Gala Dinner with a fantastic DJ, added to the experience. A special session on Monday featured one-minute summaries of all 60 posters, where Hannes Buchner was presenting. Our poster, “Conditional vs Marginal Effects – A Systematic Review of OS and PFS on ClinicalTrials.gov,” generated significant interest.

The Biomarkers European Special Interest Group (ESIG) held a session titled “Advancing Biomarker Insights in Precision Medicine and Digital Health.” Highlights included Marzia A. Scelsi’s talk on digital biomarkers and a presentation on machine learning in precision medicine by Karl Köchert and Nils Ternès. The conference also allowed for a face-to-face meeting of the Biomarker ESIG, with lunch in the Executive Lounge of Beurs van Berlage. Members had the chance to network with co-leads Nicole Krämer and Guillaume Desachy, as well as other key members like Karl Köchert, Nils Ternès, Jinesh Shah, and Kostas Sechidis.

Overall, it was an incredible experience filled with knowledge sharing and networking. We’re excited to apply these new insights to future projects!
