The Austrian Science Fund (FWF) has awarded an Emerging Fields Grant to Brain Resilience, an interdisciplinary project with the participation of the group of Jürgen Knoblich at IMBA and Daniela Pollak at IMBA and IMP. The project empowers the…

Some of our genes can be expressed or silenced depending on whether we inherited them from our mother or our father. The mechanism behind this phenomenon, known as genomic imprinting, is determined by DNA modifications during egg and sperm…

With a unique hybrid program, IMBA opened its doors to the next generation of scientists, offering an in-depth exploration of embryonic stem cells, organoid preparation, and the ethical dimensions of medical research.

Michael Zabolocki, postdoctoral researcher in the lab of Jürgen Knoblich at IMBA, was awarded the European Commission’s highly competitive Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship

Ralf Jansen, PhD student in the lab of Julius Brennecke, was awarded a competitive fellowship of the Boehringer Ingelheim Fonds, which will support his doctoral research and welcomes him into a network of young researchers with high potential.

Proteomics studies the structure and function of proteins involved in cellular processes in great detail. However, technical limitations hamper this type of research. The Proteomics Tech Hub of IMP, IMBA and GMI at the Vienna BioCenter recently…

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…

As life expectancy increases, understanding the complexities of aging becomes ever more crucial. A new study, involving researchers at the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology and the Medical University of Vienna uncovers the crucial role of a…

This year, scientists at IMBA disentangled chromosome dynamics and uncovered how transposons can jump across the species barrier. They developed the first multi-chamber heart organoid model, pioneered a tool for navigating the genome in 3D, uncovered…

Jeanne Couturier, PhD student in the lab of Joanna Jachowicz, was awarded a competitive fellowship of the Boehringer Ingelheim Fonds. The BIF Fellowship will support Jeanne Couturier’s doctoral research and welcomes her into a network of young…
