The Working Group Cell Based Assays, Therapies and Products organized the first workshop "Advanced Cell Culture Technologies" on March 17     It was a great pleasure to organize and host the ÖGMBT workshop “Advanced Cell Culture Technologies” of the ÖGMBT working group “Cell based assays, therapies and products” at BOKU. It was an intense day full of exciting talks, lively discussions and networking activities. We would like to thank all participants and the organizers of the ÖGMBT and BOKU for making this event a great success; special thanks go to our keynote speakers PD Dr. Antonina Lavrentieva and Prof. Dr. Jan Hansmann, who shared unique insights into how cells perceive their 3D environment and how automation can enhance our research output. Congratulations to our poster prize winners Sonya Ciulean (Fraunhofer IZI, Leipzig, Germany) and Julia Moldaschl (BOKU), who won free admission for the next ÖGMBT Annual Meeting in Salzburg.…
Mit der Exzellenzinitiative excellent=austria schlägt Österreich ein neues Kapitel in der Grundlagenforschung auf: Fünf Exzellenzcluster werden ab Sommer 2023 an elf Standorten kooperative Projekte in noch nie dagewesener Dimension starten. Seitens des FWF sowie der beteiligten Forschungsstätten steht ein Investitionsvolumen von 135 Millionen Euro zur Verfügung, um Spitzenforschung zu Zukunftsthemen für die ersten fünf Jahre der geplanten zehnjährigen Laufzeit zu finanzieren. Wissenschaftsminister Martin Polaschek und FWF-Präsident Christof Gattringer gaben in Wien die lang erwarteten Förderentscheidungen bekannt.   AUCH EIN LIFE SCIENCES CLUSTER IST VERTRETEN: Exzellenzcluster „Microbiomes Drive Planetary Health“ Die Bedeutung von Mikrobiomen für die planetare Gesundheit verstehen   Board of Directors und beteiligte Forschungsstätten: Michael Wagner (Director of Research, Universität Wien) Andreas Bergthaler (Österreichische Akademie der Wissenschaften, CeMM) Christina Kaiser (Universität Wien) Bernhard Lendl (Technische Universität Wien) Christine Moissl-Eichinger (Medizinische Universität Graz) Alexander Moschen (Universität Linz) Leonid Sazanov (Institute of Science and Technology Austria) Angela Sessitsch (Austrian Institute of…

15th ÖGMBT Annual Meeting - Save the Date

Thursday, 23 March 2023 01:20
We are pleased to announce the 15th ÖGMBT Annual Meeting to take place in Salzburg on September 19-21, 2023, under the title: “Life Sciences and cutting-edge technologies” The Life Sciences are driven by ever improving technologies, to profile the omics in single-cells and with spatial resolution, to represent the physiological context in organoid models, to extract knowledge with data science and machine learning, and many more. Cutting-edge technologies have great potential but also challenges, and are highly transferable between scientific disciplines. In this meeting, we will discuss intricacies of technologies and their applications in the Life Sciences. Over the duration of the scientific meeting, we have compiled a program that broadly covers diverse disciplines within the Life Sciences. This program is organized in two tracks: Track 1 with a focus on Technologies, which are transferable between Life Science disciplines. Track 2 that covers diverse Life Sciences disciplines, demonstrating the insights…
