Max Perutz Labs Vienna
@MaxPerutzLabs
The Max Perutz Labs are a joint venture between @univienna and @MedUni_Wien, dedicated to a mechanistic understanding of fundamental biomedical processes.
Long before the Max Perutz Labs were officially founded in 2005, a group of ambitious young molecular biologists - some of them shown below - dreamed of creating a research institute to unite the strengths of scientists in a cross-university initiative 🙌 #MaxPerutzLabs20Years
👩🎓 Paulina Kettel (Karagöz lab) defended her thesis titled "Deciphering the early activation mechanisms of the unfolded protein response by proteotoxic endoplasmic reticulum stress" and earned her hat! Congrats, Paulina 🤩🎉 @univienna @MedUni_Wien
👏 Congrats to Irene Schwartz from the Versteeg lab on completing her PhD with her project "Protection from endogenous cancer-associated APOBEC3 deaminases through proteasomal degradation"! 🙌 #phdone @univienna @MedUni_Wien
👏 Big congrats to Elif Karagöz on her tenure! Since launching her lab in 2019, her team has been uncovering the secrets of protein homeostasis. Elif opens up about what it takes to lead a lab, stay driven by research and support the scientists of tomorrow in her #SuccessStory 🎥
📑 New study out now! The Kovarik lab uncovers a novel mechanism for eliminating pro-inflammatory pre-mRNAs in the nucleus - preventing the overproduction of cytokines published in @MolecularCell ➡️ tinyurl.com/m8p87k6k
📢New #preprint from the Karagöz lab @MaxPerutzLabs & the @PlantoPhagy lab on the crosstalk of UFMylation & ribosome-associated QC ➡️biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Great work led by excellent✨PhD students Milica Mihailovic & Aleksandra Anisimova👏Check our Milica's summary🧵below👇
1/ Excited to share the first preprint from my PhD work co-authored with @alessandrick on how UFMylation and the ribosome-associated quality control (RQC) pathways collaborate to clear stalled ribosomes at the ER! #UFMylation #qualitycontrol #ER biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 🧵(1/8)
Join us in Vienna 8-9 May for the #Ubiquitin & Friends Symposium 2025! Excellent line-up of guest speakers👇AND many slots for talks from abstracts PLUS flash talks & posters. Lots of opportunities to network with peers & experts in a friendly atmosphere 🔗protein-degradation.org/symposium/
Did you miss the Vienna BioCenter Climate Lecture with Philipp Weber?Or maybe you want to revisit the interesting discussions? Then you are in luck, because the lecture just went online on the YouTube Channel of the Climate Group: youtube.com/watch?v=sTk1Df… #vbcclimatelecture
Congrats to Perutz group leaders Elif Karagöz and @ShotaroOtsuka on becoming tenured professors 🎉 Since 2019, the Karagöz lab has been uncovering how cells maintain protein homeostasis, while the @LabOtsuka explores how the ER and nucleus communicate ➡️ tinyurl.com/2phzhprj
Paper alert! 📢 RNA-protein interactions are well-documented, but their relationship with biological coding has remained elusive 🔎 In @PNASNews, the Žagrović lab uncovered specific examples of RNA-protein interactions embedded within the genetic code ➡️ tinyurl.com/3t33hrzm
🎉 Congratulations to @JonasRies on receiving an @ERC_Research Proof of Concept grant! With his project 'PhaseFLUX', Jonas is working on a microscope prototype to enhance the MINFLUX technology 🔬 #ERCPoC ➡️ tinyurl.com/yc4yww3k
🎉 Congrats to @marcoyannic on securing a @WWTF grant! Partnering with Irene Görzer from @MedUni_Wien, Marco will delve into the largely unexplored world of anelloviruses - ubiquitous, commensal members of the human virome 🦠 Read more ➡️ tinyurl.com/yk5zfcmh
🫵 You are interested in recombinant protein purification and structural biology? Great Master's project ahead! 🤩 The Leonard lab offers a project to elucidate the mechanism(s) by which the ISR kinases specifically recruit eIF2 📶 Read more ➡️ tinyurl.com/238r7rkb

Promoting sustainability in the Life Sciences - Tune in for the next Climate Lecture organized by the Vienna BioCenter Climate Group. January 14, 2025, 4 pm The lecture is held online (Zoom) Details on the lecture and how to log in is available here: lnkd.in/djSGUpfX
2025 marks an incredible milestone: it is the 20th anniversary of the Max Perutz Labs! 🎉 This is a chance not only to celebrate how far we’ve come but also to be inspired by the bold vision that started it all and to carry that energy forward. Stay tuned! #MaxPerutzLabs20Years
🚨 Out now! @marcoyannic and his former colleagues at the @czbiohub, San Francisco, have unveiled a new study in @CellCellPress. The team, led by Manuel Leonetti, mapped the subcellular distribution of thousands of proteins ➡️ tinyurl.com/ypn65duk
