Sophie received the DOC-Stipendium of the Austrian Academy of Sciences.

Congratulations!

Unit of Pharmacology and Unit of Biochemistry joined forces at this year's Kinderuni to give young scientists a glimpse into our everyday laboratory life. We showed the kids what it's like to work in a research lab and shared how our teams are working to better understand cancer and develop new approaches to fight it. Seeing their curiosity, excitement, and eagerness to learn made the day truly special.

Great moments at the Austrian 3Rdays at University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna! 

Nathalie, Victoria Katharina, and Amisha spent three days focusing on the 3R principles: Replace, Reduce and Refine. They presented four posters, and Amisha gave a talk. The meeting, which brought together researchers from different fields, was a great opportunity for insightful discussions and knowledge exchange. 

There was also reason to celebrate, as Nathalie’s poster won first prize! 

The Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW) has honored Dagmar Gotthardt-Pötsch, Assistant Professor of Pharmacology and Toxicology at Vetmeduni, with the Elisabeth Lutz Prize. This prestigious award recognizes her outstanding scientific achievements and her contributions to research on natural killer cells (NK cells), a central component of the immune system. Through her work, she has gained new insights into the role of these cells in tumor defense and their rare but aggressive transformation into malignant diseases.
