โญ CeMM is proud to support #KinderuniWien with the @oeaw! We created a fun online video, quiz & game to show children how wounds heal & the immune system protects us. Watch it below ๐ ๐ฅ โDie Blutbaustelle - Helfer im Einsatz!โ (in German) ๐ bit.ly/3IuoEI2
Congratulations to Teresa Neuwirth from the group of CeMM Adjunct PI & @MedUni_Wien Prof. @StaryGeorg, who has successfully defended her PhD thesis entitled "Good cop gone bad: dysregulation of regulatory T cells in chronic skin inflammation." Well done!! ๐ ๐ #phdlife #phdhat


Yesterday, CeMM PhD reps hosted our Summer Picnic in the CeMM cafeteria! ๐ Colleagues came together to relax, connect & exchange ideas overlooking Vienna's beautiful cityscape. Thanks to everyone who joined & to our PhD reps for a great get-together despite the weather! ๐


Congrats to @MaryemRadhouani from the groups of former CeMM PI & @MedUni_Wien Prof. Sylvia Knapp & Philipp Starkl, who has successfully defended her PhD thesis entitled "The impact of bacterial skin infection on allergic asthma development." Well done!! ๐ ๐ ๐ #phdlife #phdhat

On 7โ8 July, CeMM Recess 2025 brought our postdoc community together! ๐ฉโ๐ฌ๐จ๐พโ๐ฌ From scientific talks to bold science pitches, feedback, & evening quiz, a retreat full of ideas & inspiration! Thanks to organisers Barbara Maier, @AR_AbdelFattah, @DSeruggia, & to all who joined! ๐



๐ฌ Final #EquationsForLife! CeMMโs Admin & Support Team led by Anita Ender chose #KirchhoffsTheorem to symbolize how they connect every part of our instituteโefficiently & without loops. The team's efforts prove that strong science needs strong systems. ๐ bit.ly/4kNf3u4

Congrats to CeMM PI & MedUni Prof. Christoph Bock (@BockLab) on being elected @EMBO member! ๐ A well-deserved recognition for his work in #biotech, #bioinformatics & molecular medicine, reflecting his global impact & scientific excellence at CeMM. ๐ bit.ly/4eluojm

๐ง Mutations in the #SLC13A5 gene disrupt citrate transport in neurons, causing severe #epilepsy. In a new study published in @ScienceAdvances, CeMM researchers uncover the molecular mechanisms behind this disease. โก๏ธ Info: bit.ly/3T4u12N ๐Study: bit.ly/3HRy8wR

We finished the week by welcoming @LochlanFennell (@usceduau ๐ฆ๐บ) for an Impromptu Seminar on the spatial tumourโimmune microenvironment in #ColorectalCancer ๐งฌ Thank you, Lochlan, for an insightful presentation & engaging discussion, & to our host, CeMM PI Andrรฉ Rendeiro!



On 25-26 June 2025, our #ResearchTechnicians came together for the 4th CeMM RT Retreat! ๐ฉโ๐ฌ๐จ๐พโ๐ฌ Two days of #connection, #collaboration & bold ideasโlike designing a โutopianโ lab where everything runs at its best! Huge thanks to our RTs, essential to #CeMMโs scientific success! ๐

๐คThe #CeMM team rocked the #EULIFE #ScienceVision Talk contest & the recording is now live! ๐ฅWatch ๐๐ฏ๐ต๐ฆ๐ณ_๐๐ค๐ต๐ช๐ฏ๐จ, a spoken word duet by Brianda & Carolina, supported by รykรผ & Tatyana, that earned 3rd place at the competition!๐ bit.ly/46dTaj3
๐ฌ As we near the end of #EquationsForLife, we spotlight @AR_AbdelFattah's Group! They use the #ReactionDiffussion equation to characterize the process of tissue organization and maintenance in physiology, and how disease disrupts it. ๐ bit.ly/4ef2Pbe

Great #CeMMinar with @brian_b_liau (@Harvard) before the lecture series summer break!๐He shared his lab's genome editing & small molecule profiling approach to uncover drug resistance mutations & how their discoveries shape new target biology๐งฌThank you, Brian, & #CeMM hosts!



CeMM Scientific Director @giuliosf joins @AlanDangour from @wellcometrust to discuss #ClimateChange and its impact on global health ๐ ๐ Donโt miss their insightful conversation from the @EMBO Workshop in Lisbon ๐ต๐น last April. ๐ฅ Watch now: youtu.be/ena0uPCRxzw
