🎉Congratulations to our Guilherme Ventura, postdoc in the lab of @dianapinheiro.bsky.social who secured a prestigious Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowship! 🔬The funding will support his research on the mechanisms that control how the embryonic development clock is set: www.imp.ac.at/news/article...

How can #genetics provide insights into disease biology? Watch 2024 Birnstiel Award laureate Christina Stankey's great talk to find out: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ibjy... Her research identified ETS2 as a master regulator of macrophage-driven inflammation.

🔬 Austria has steadily worked its way up to become a strong contender in life sciences research, consistently ranking among Europe’s best! 📽️This animation shows the number of ERC Grants in the life sciences domain per capita awarded from 2008 to 2023: www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0d8...

So proud of you @aelewaut.bsky.social and big thank you to the ADF and @abbvie.bsky.social. This 💶 will help ease the start in the US #postdoc #newadventures

Finally, my postdoc work is published in Cell Structure! 🎉 Grateful for the chance to apply deep learning to cryo-ET and learn from @haselbachlab.bsky.social about structural biology🦠. Huge thanks to Lukas Herrmann for coding help and Philipp Grohs for my position and all the GPUs.

Reminder that the deadline is coming up on Feb 26th!!

🎉Congratulations to @aelewaut.bsky.social, recent PhD graduate from the @obenaufa.bsky.social’s lab, who won the Egon Macher Award for her research on how cancer evades the immune system! Read more: www.imp.ac.at/news/article... @viennabiocenter.bsky.social

Our lab is now on Bluesky! 🚀 Kicking things off by sharing @fedeteloni.bsky.social latest preprint on the role of cohesin in homology search. Check out the thread for more details!

🔬Our @haselbachlab.bsky.social with Pavol Harar have developed ‘FakET’! The new method creates ‘fake’ electron microscopy images to train AI, reducing manual work in particle identification. Read the full story: www.imp.ac.at/news/article... @viennabiocenter.bsky.social #AI #cryoem #microscopy

At the IMP we’re dedicated to the fun of finding out. Few places in the world let you dive into curiosity-driven science like we do. 📽️Watch what the IMP is all about: youtu.be/mtl5Vod652Q @viennabiocenter.bsky.social

Out of the lab, into the wild: when @pauligroup.bsky.social's Andi Pauli puts on her @ox.ac.uk blue, you know it's business time! Austria's national broadcast ORF interviewed her on how #Vienna has become such an amazing place for life science research.

My favorite quote from Nature's 10 year retrospective on expansion microscopy (ExM): “It’s so easy, even my nine-year-old can do it,” [CMU professor, SynthNeuro group alum, and ExM innovator, Yongxin] Zhao says. Happy 10th birthday, expansion microscopy!

Over 10 percent. AND: significantly more engagements here than over there at X.

We will soon welcome @svenklumpe.bsky.social to the Vienna BioCenter, where he will use cryo-Electron Tomography to study - among other things - how #transposons shape #germlines. Sven's lab will be @imbavienna.bsky.social *AND* the IMP. Full story: www.viennabiocenter.org/about/news/s...

Here's a first collection of great life science institutes worldwide you can follow to help you get back in the loop. 🌍🔬 Did we miss any? Let us know, and we'll add them! go.bsky.app/A5Jrf8N

Meinrad Busslinger, Emeritus Senior Group Leader at the IMP, received the Silver Medal for Meritorious Service to Vienna for his outstanding scientific achievements & key role in establishing the IMP and Vienna BioCenter. 🎖️👏 Read more: www.imp.ac.at/news/article... @viennabiocenter.bsky.social

Welcome #HorizonEurope Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) 2021 – Doctoral Network CohesiNet, who have come to the Vienna BioCenter to discuss their exciting science.

If you are on BlueSky, chances are that you moved over from Twitter/X. The microblogging communities are spreading out; but note that LinkedIn is also benefitting from Twitter's decline, even for academia and research. You find us there at www.linkedin.com/company/rese...

We continue our series of lecture recordings with 2024 Birnstiel Award laureate Luca Schulz, who traced #proteinevolution in #Rubisco, the carboxylase of #photosynthesis: youtu.be/xmuruTzl4D8

Molecular machines that maintain chromosome structure organise DNA by pulling it into loops, but they do it one-sided and can even switch directions. New paper with contributions from our Peters lab!

👉Read the interview with Manuel and Julia to learn more about this innovative method in single-cell proteomics—from its applications to the challenges and rewards of the project:

The deadline to submit an abstract for a talk in the 2025 SY-Stem symposium ends today! SY-Stem - a symposium focusing on the next generation of stem cell researchers - is organized by IMBA and the @impvienna.bsky.social. Register here: bit.ly/SYstem2025

Last November, Irmantas Mogila presented his doctoral research at the Birnstiel Award ceremony. You can watch his talk “Translation inhibition in CRISPR-Cas defence.” now via our YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6pk...

Congratulations to Clemens Plaschka, who was promoted to Senior Group Leader at the IMP / Vienna BioCenter. We are thrilled and look forward to Clemens steering his research as part of our community for many more years to come! www.imp.ac.at/news/article...

How are architectural & epigenetic mechanisms of genome organization coordinated? Jan-Michael Peters @impvienna.bsky.social et al show #cohesin mediates positioning of epigenetic reader Phf2 within the genome, affecting the size of heterochromatic B compartments www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....
