IMBA - Institute of Molecular Biotechnology: a leading research institute in Europe, focusing on functional genetics, RNA biology, and stem cell research. @oeaw
We are shifting our activities to Bluesky, as many scientists are already doing. You too can follow us at imbavienna.bsky.social!
IMBA and the @IMPvienna will soon host a joint research group headed by Sven Klumpe. The structural biologist will join both institutes with an innovative double-affiliation to add cryo-Electron Tomography research on “jumping genes” and other fields to the @viennabiocenter…

Congratulations to Theresa Sommer on the completion of her PhD! Theresa, a researcher in the @NRivron Group, presented her work on “Developing a stem cell – based 3D model of the human blastocyst and its application in exploring mammalian embryo morphologies” at her PhD defense.

New at IMBA: Paths to Regeneration (2024) by Ella Steinbacher, inspired by André Fischer. This painting captures an extraordinary natural process in axolotls, where adult somatic cells revert to a more versatile state, enabling regeneration.

Check out this new preprint from the Gerlich Group, accompanied by this explainer by postdoc Federico Teloni.
New #preprint from our lab at @IMBA_Vienna ! How do DNA breaks locate homology sites in the vast space of the human genome? We show how #cohesin guides homology search for faithful repair! Read more 👉 tinyurl.com/DSBcohesin Follow along for key insights! 🧵1/12
Congratulations to Gustav Jonsson (Penninger Group) on the completion of his PhD! Gustav presented his work on prognostic and diagnostic biomarkers in clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

SY-Stem 2025 Symposium: Registration deadline on February 15th! SY-Stem - a symposium focusing on the next generation of stem cell researchers - is organized by IMBA and @IMPvienna. Register online: bit.ly/4jekaDg Check out the program: bit.ly/4jDioM6

Congratulations to Max Kellner (@penningerlab) on the completion of his PhD! Max presented his work on molecular virus diagnostics for resource-limited settings and, separately, on modeling host-virus interactions in natural reservoir species using bat organoids.
