Liam Dolan has been elected full Member of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, the Academy announced today. Liam Dolan, Senior group leader at the GMI since 2020, is one of 5 newly elected full members of the Division of Mathematics and Natural…

DNA damage response protects genome integrity by quickly repairing DNA lesions. Most plant proteins involved in this process have been identified by homology to their mammalian counterparts, but some key factors of DNA repair machinery have not been…

The Austrian Science Fund (FWF) has awarded an Emerging Fields Grant to EvoChromo, an interdisciplinary project coordinated by Frédéric Berger at the GMI. EvoChromo will establish a new research laboratory to uncover how the evolution of genome…

“Scientists at the GMI are doing science on a scale I had never seen before.” “I have never worked in a place with resources like the ones available at the GMI and the Vienna Biocenter”

A hat-trick for the GMI: three scientists at the GMI have been awarded the European Commission’s highly competitive Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship in 2024. The fellowships will support their research projects and welcome the postdocs…

Zohar Meir, Postdoctoral researcher in the lab of Liam Dolan at the GMI, was awarded a competitive fellowship of the Human Frontier Science Program. The fellowship will support Meir’s research and welcome him into a network of young researchers with…

On International Day of Women and Girls in Science, the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Officers at IMBA, IMP, and GMI discuss the implementation of a comprehensive EDI Action Plan and the establishment of new roles aimed at making advances…

Advancing our understanding of plant epigenetics, a new study led by Ruben Gutzat from the “plant stem cell team” in Ortrun Mittelsten Scheid's laboratory at the Gregor Mendel Institute, unveils a genomic battle between plant stem cells and…

This year, scientists at the GMI uncovered a molecular switch regulating autophagy, demonstrated the crucial role of histone variants in shaping the genome landscape, and discovered how plant stem cells fight off viruses. Here are some of the…
