We kicked off the week with Roger Kamm (MIT Dept of BE) for a #CeMMinar on brain neurovascular models & its applications to modeling drug & toxin transport. Thanks to Roger for the great insights & hosts Laura de Rooij & Abdel Rahman Abdel Fattah!

Today’s Impromptu Seminar at CeMM featured Evangelia Petsalaki (EMBL-EBI), who shared her lab’s work on context-specific signalling using network modelling & machine learning. From melanoma resistance to MASLD, a fascinating session—thank you, Evangelia & Abdel Rahman Abdel Fattah!

Congrats to Laura Marie Gail from the group of CeMM Adjunct PI Georg Stary (MedUni Wien), on successfully defending her PhD thesis entitled "Regulation of skin tissue-resident memory T cells in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation & acute GVHD." Well done!! 🎓👏🎉 #phdlife #phdhat

🔬 Midweek #EquationsForLife! The Unterlass Lab uses the ionic product of water to model #HydrothermalSynthesis. They've used this eco-friendly method to create cyclic organic compounds, valuable in both basic research & drug development. 🔎 bit.ly/4jVWFOA

🔬 Finishing the week with #EquationsForLife! The Villunger Lab Group uses Boltzmann’s #entropy equation to study cell death. In 2024, they showed how extra centrosomes delay disease by causing cells to self-destruct in certain models of blood cancer. 🔎 tinyurl.com/CeMMRR2024-Vil…

🎓We’re excited to be part of the Doctoral Insights Symposium 2025! Meet our Head of HR Jean-Paul Chidiac at the event to discover what it means to do cutting-edge research at #CeMM! 🗓️Learn more & register ➡️ bit.ly/3ZHhu9b 🔎Discover our #PhDprogram ➡️ bit.ly/30InwuL

CeMM Scientific Director Giulio Superti-Furga joins Alan Dangour from Wellcome to discuss #ClimateChange and its impact on global health 🌍 👉 Don’t miss their insightful conversation from the EMBO Workshop in Lisbon 🇵🇹 last April. 🎥 Watch now: youtu.be/ena0uPCRxzw

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

🔬 As we near the end of #EquationsForLife, we spotlight Abdel Rahman Abdel Fattah's Group! They use the #ReactionDiffussion equation to characterize the process of tissue organization and maintenance in physiology, and how disease disrupts it. 🔎 bit.ly/4ef2Pbe

🎤The #CeMM team rocked the #EULIFE #ScienceVision Talk contest & the recording is now live! 🎥Watch 𝘐𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳_𝘈𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨, a spoken word duet by Brianda & Carolina, supported by Öykü & Tatyana, that earned 3rd place at the competition!👇 bit.ly/46dTaj3

On 25-26 June 2025, our #ResearchTechnicians came together for the 4th CeMM RT Retreat! 👩‍🔬👨🏾‍🔬 Two days of #connection, #collaboration & bold ideas—like designing a “utopian” lab where everything runs at its best! Huge thanks to our RTs, essential to #CeMM’s scientific success! 👏

We finished the week by welcoming Lochlan Fennell (UniSC: University of the Sunshine Coast 🇦🇺) for an Impromptu Seminar on the spatial tumour–immune microenvironment in #ColorectalCancer 🧬 Thank you, Lochlan, for an insightful presentation & engaging discussion, & to our host, CeMM PI André Rendeiro!

🧠 Mutations in the #SLC13A5 gene disrupt citrate transport in neurons, causing severe #epilepsy. In a new study published in Science Advances, CeMM researchers uncover the molecular mechanisms behind this disease. ➡️ Info: bit.ly/3T4u12N 🔗Study: bit.ly/3HRy8wR

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

🔬 Final #EquationsForLife! CeMM’s Admin & Support Team led by Anita Ender chose #KirchhoffsTheorem to symbolize how they connect every part of our institute—efficiently & without loops. The team's efforts prove that strong science needs strong systems. 🔎 bit.ly/4kNf3u4

On 7–8 July, CeMM Recess 2025 brought our postdoc community together! 👩‍🔬👨🏾‍🔬 From scientific talks to bold science pitches, feedback, & evening quiz, a retreat full of ideas & inspiration! Thanks to organisers Barbara Maier, Abdel Rahman Abdel Fattah, Davide Seruggia, & to all who joined! 👏

Congrats to Mariem Radhouani 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!! 🎓 👏 🎉 #phdlife #phdhat

Yesterday, CeMM PhD reps hosted our Summer Picnic in the CeMM cafeteria! 🌇 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! 🙌
