🧑‍🔬 Today, on #InternationalWomensDay, we stand in solidarity with women worldwide, recognizing their strength and resilience. 67% of our employees are dedicated Women, who contribute every day to gaining scientific knowledge to optimize therapies for children with cancer.💪

📢 Congrats to CeMM PI Christoph Bock Christoph Bock Lab @ CeMM & MedUni Vienna and the consortium of "Brain Resilience" for receiving one of the first "Emerging Fields" grants of the FWF! The interdisciplinary team of scientists will investigate brain resilience against disease.➡️ bit.ly/3Vc6Wx8

Our #DART2OS project won the FWF's 'Emerging Fields' grant! 🎉 Thanks to FWF & congrats to Sabine Taschner-Mandl and our partners as we join forces to advance T-cell therapies against Osteosarcoma. 🔗 Detailed Info >>> shorturl.at/fxyYZ

Congratulations Ornella! We are proud of you!

🔬New Study in Nature Immunology (bit.ly/3Ucr7ZE): How do immune cells stay ready when no pathogen is in sight? Scientists from Vienna incl. Christoph Bock Lab @ CeMM & MedUni Vienna have found a surprising explanation: They are constantly stimulated by healthy tissue. ➡️Read more: bit.ly/3JAnE29

WHAT KEEPS IMMUNE CELLS AWAKE & ATTENTIVE? It’s their neighbors – stimulation from the tissue environment. We profiled epigenomes & transcriptomes of 12 JAK-STAT mutant mice & found surprisingly strong effects at homeostasis. Paper just out in Nature Immunology: nature.com/articles/s4159…

Proud that our chemoproteomics survey is out @ Science Magazine . Proteome-wide profiling of >400 fragments coupled with AI/ML provides numerous starting points for drug discovery & empowers prediction of ligand behavior in native biological systems. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Our latest paper on modeling the effects of #neuroblastoma mutations on #development using #stemcells is finally out in Nature Communications! Amazing collaboration with Anestis Tsakiridis! More info to follow, read the paper here: rdcu.be/dGLrQ

Registration is open for the face-to-face EEC meeting in London, Monday 24 and Tuesday 25 June 2024. Register for the in-person meeting here bit.ly/49Z3NVe or the Zoom option (limited interaction) here bit.ly/3UFq5XS. Programme details: bit.ly/49Y43UE

Just got back from our #labretreat in Prein an der Rax 🌲🏰 it was the perfect combo of #goodscience and a lot of fun 🧬😄 so grateful to be part of Tomazou Lab ✨️

Entwicklungsbiologin und #START-Preisträgerin Polina Kameneva will herausfinden, welche Mechanismen einer #Krebserkrankung bei Kindern zugrunde liegen. Im Mittelpunkt steht dabei die erste Phase nach einer Mutation. Gratulation! 🏆PolinaKameneva St. Anna Children's Cancer Research Institute CCRI fwf.ac.at/aktuelles/deta…

🎉Congratulations to PolinaKameneva on receiving the START Prize! We are incredibly proud of her outstanding achievement. A big thank you to FWF for the inspiring event and congratulations to all the other winners. 👏

So happy to see our SimulateGPT paper peer-reviewed and published in CBM. Grateful to all the great co-authors, especially Stephan Reichl,QuantifiedScientist, Matthias Samwald and Christoph Bock Lab @ CeMM & MedUni Vienna sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Simulation-based prompting is becoming a powerful method to query LLMs

🏆 🔬 Leonie received a DOC Fellowship from the Austrian Academy of Sciences for her PhD project focusing on the role of enhancers in drug resistance and relapse in #cancer patients. Congrats Leonie! 🔗Read more here >>> ccri.at/resistance-is-…

Meet our Profs! 👉 Caroline Hutter tritt mit August die Professur für Pädiatrische #Hämatologie und #Onkologie an der #MedUniWien an. Zudem übernimmt sie die Ärztliche Leitung des St. Anna Kinderspitals. Lesen Sie mehr! ➡ bit.ly/3SUIJtB

🎉 Big news! Caroline Hutter is now Medical Director at St. Anna Children's Hospital and a Professor of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology MedUni Wien. She'll stay closely connected with St. Anna CCRI as PI through her research group Hutter Lab. Congrats, Caro! 👏

Ready for an expedition into the unknown? We are recruiting two postdocs through the CeMM Postdoc Program. Our group combines ML/AI in bioinformatics, CRISPR & single-cell technology development, and biomedical applications in cancer & immunity. Details: cemm.at/fileadmin/user…

📢 When Ludovica Proietti started a PhD in the #grebienlab I had no idea that this would lead us into the fascinating field of P-bodies 🫧. Fantastic collaboration with the Bruno Di Stefano out today in Nature Cell Biology. Congrats to the team! 🎉💪Vetmeduni St. Anna Children's Cancer Research Institute CCRI CeMM

First pre-print from the lab! Together with Luca Pinello and Daniel Bauer we developed CRISPR-CLEAR, an experimental and computational pipeline to dissect enhancers at nucleotide resolution. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Thrilled to have contributed to this study! Huge congratulations to Moritz Schäfer Peter Peneder and the entire team for the fantastic work!
