IMBA - Institute of Molecular Biotechnology: a leading research institute in Europe, focusing on functional genetics, RNA biology, and stem cell research. @oeaw
- #cardioids – the first self-organizing human cardiac #organoids developed at IMBA by the @MendjanLab! Cardioids recapitulate heart chamber self-organization and defects bearing huge potential for drug discovery & regenerative medicine. Read more: tinyurl.com/cardioids
00:00 - Elly Tanaka will be IMBA’s new Scientific Director, heading the institute from April 2024 onwards. Elly Tanaka is a renowned researcher, who studies the regeneration of complex body parts. Welcome, Elly!
- IMBA is recruiting Group Leaders! Are you interested in starting your own lab, pursuing curiosity-driven basic research in the life sciences? Apply now to one of our group leader positions: bit.ly/imbagroupleader #BeAGroupLeader
- Congratulations to Julius Brennecke for securing one of this year’s @ERC_Research Advanced Grants! Julius will study the arms race between transposons and host genomes. #ERCAdG More here: oeaw.ac.at/imba/research-…
- New publication in @nature by the Gerlich lab @gerlich_daniel: the protein Ki-67 is crucial in removing large cytoplasmatic components after #mitosis, before the nuclear envelope forms again. Read more: bit.ly/34SEmH8 #Ki67 #cellbiology #chromosomes
- ‼️ Breakthrough in evolutionary genetics ‼️ #Virus-like #transposons wage war on the species barrier 🧬🦠🪱🐠🪼 An all-IMBA paper #JustPublished in @ScienceMagazine Read more ➡️ bit.ly/MavericksHGT IMBA's Burga Lab @arburga with co-first authors @SonyaWiden & @CampoBes
- Human #blastoids, a new #breakthrough from the Rivron lab at IMBA @NRivron, faithfully form a reliable #embryomodel in vitro. The findings allow to better understand blastocyst #development and #implantation. More ➡️ bit.ly/Blastoids_Rivr… #IVF #infertility @Nature (1/3)
00:00 - Help us #welcome Joanna Jachowicz @jwjach, who will be joining IMBA as a junior #groupleader in summer 2022! 🎉🎊 For more on Joanna's research on the "Dark" genome and its impact on #cellfate decisions ➡️ oeaw.ac.at/imba/groups/jo… #darkgenome #embryonicdevelopment #chromatin
- Welcome, Elly, to your first day of work at IMBA! While we have a new scientific director and research organism at IMBA, our logo remains the same #aprilfools. The Tanaka group adds to an exciting portfolio of research topics all across the molecular life sciences at IMBA.
- Congratulations to IMBA group leader Nicolas Rivron @NRivron on his @ERC_Research Consolidator Grant! This marks IMBA's 18th #ERC grant. His grant will support the modeling of early development (blastocyst) solely from stem cells. #blastoids #ERCCoG More➡️bit.ly/3749vIt
- Researchers from @Knoblich_lab @IMBA_Vienna develop groundbreaking technology: CRISPR-LICHT allows genetic screens in human tissues such as brain #organoids. Read more: bit.ly/CRISPRLICHT Published in @ScienceMagazine #CRISPRLICHT #organoids #brain
