At the Vienna BioCenter PhD Symposium, outstanding PhD students were acknowledged for their scientific contributions by receiving the Vienna BioCenter PhD Award. Among this year’s recipients is Víctor Sánchez de Medina Hernández from the Dagdas lab…

Scientists at the Gregor Mendel Institute (GMI) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences have discovered a new piece in the puzzle of how plants keep epigenetic information stable across generations. Their findings, published in Nature Plants, show that a…

Magnus Nordborg from the Gregor Mendel Institute of Molecular Plant Biology of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, together with Richard Durbin and Felipe Teixeira from the University of Cambridge, has been awarded a prestigious ERC Synergy Grant. …

Researchers at the Gregor Mendel Institute of the Austrian Academy of Sciences have uncovered how proteins in plants can acquire new functions through subtle electrostatic changes. Their findings, published in Nature Plants, point to a mechanism that…

The external service provider of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW) and GMI that handles the payroll accounting was hacked recently.

A data leak affecting past and present staff of the ÖAW and all its institutes including GMI occurred.

Plants grow in precise 3D patterns, shaped by active stem cells in regions called meristems. Researchers in Liam Dolan's lab at the Gregor Mendel Institute have identified the gene CYP78E1 as a key regulator of branching in the model plant Marchantia…

Hing Pan Ng, PhD student in Yan Ma’s lab, was awarded a competitive DOC fellowship by the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW) for his research on the molecular mechanisms that gall-inducing insects use to remodel plant cell walls during gall…

Silvia Ramundo’s research on chloroplast stress signaling has earned her the 2025 ASTRA Award from the Austrian Science Fund (FWF).
