  • FWF Stand-Alone Project funding awarded to Heidi Neubauer for research into disease mechanisms in MPN and thrombosis

    The Austrian Science Fund (FWF) has awarded funding to Heidi Neubauer to support her research on Myeloproliferative Neoplasms and thrombosis. This four year project will explore the role of the protein STAT5B in MPN disease mechanisms, where STAT5B could represent a novel prognostic marker and help explain patient phenotypes in these diseases. 

    Congrats Heidi for this incredible achievement. We are looking forward to some productive years of research.

  • Heidi Neubauer receives the Vetmeduni young scientist of the year award for most citations in the non-clinical category

    At the Vetmeduni Science Day 2021, we enjoyed inspiring posters, interesting conversations and very good food.

    On top of that, Heidi Neubauer was awarded the young scientist of the year award for most citations in the non-clinical category.

    Congratulations from the whole lab!

  • Hiking trip to the Admonter Haus with our colleagues from the Grebien lab

    Hiking trip to the Admonter Haus with our colleagues from the Grebien lab

    After a long break from in-person social and team building activities we finally gathered for a 3 day hiking adventure around the Admonter Haus in the beautiful Gesäuse in Styria. Together with our friends from the Grebien lab we met early on Sunday morning and embarked on a train journey followed by a scenic hiking route up to the hut.

    Our 3 days were filled with exciting conversations about science, enjoyable hikes, climbing adventures and good food (!). We hope that we can repeat this successful lab outing next summer.

    Thank you all for this great experience.

  • Second funding period for Special Research Programme (SFB) F61 “Monarchies and Hierarchies in Shaping Chromatin Landscapes”, including Heidi Neubauer as new project leader

    The Special Research Programme (SFB) “Monarchies and Hierarchies in Shaping Chromatin Landscapes”, which commenced in 2017 and is coordinated by the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna, has been extended for another four years (2021-2025). The consortium will continue with their recent successes to gain further insights into the role of the JAK-STAT signalling pathway in the development and treatment of infection, inflammation and cancer.

    Heidi Neubauer will also now join the SFB for the second funding period as a project leader, with Richard Moriggl as co-PI. The focus of this sub-project is to explore chromatin remodelling mediated by oncogenic STAT5 in T Cell Leukemia and Lymphoma.

    More information can be found here and here.

    Congratulations Heidi, Richard and the SFB network!
