  • Circular Lab of the Future Workshop

    Circular Lab of the Future Workshop

    We learned a lot at the “Circular Lab of the Future” workshop organized by Green Labs Austria, Uni Wien and Merck yesterday.

    We contributed to the workshop by collecting, recording and sorting all plastic material we used in a week in our lab. This was normalized by the number of scientists working and hours spend in the lab (a big thanks goes out to our PhD student Marie who did most of the organization, motivation and sorting). By visualizing how much plastic we use in our daily lab life, the topic of recycling became even more relevant for us.

    Thanks for inviting us and for starting this initiative!

  • International Day of Women and Girls in Science

    International Day of Women and Girls in Science

    Today, we are especially grateful for all the smart, reliable and helpful female researchers out there. Some of them we can even call our colleagues and friends.

    “In order to achieve full and equal access to and participation in science for women and girls, and further achieve gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls, the United Nations General Assembly declared 11 February as the International Day of Women and Girls in Science in 2015.” – United Nations

    We, the female scientists from the Moriggl lab, came together to raise awareness and to celebrate all past, present and future women and girls in science!

    Cheers to all fellow female researchers and scientists out there!

  • The Moriggl Lab Joins “Green Labs Austria”

    We are happy to announce that we are now part of the Green Labs Austria in order to reduce our ecological footprint on as many levels as possible. Green Labs Austria is an organization that connects laboratories in Austria to raise awareness for how our research activities contribute significantly to waste problems and climate change. Additionally, they offer guidelines and help for a transition to more environmentally friendly research.

    Our first main aim is to recycle single-use plastic routinely used in our lab as well as to lower our energy consumption. Together we found a way to identify and separate different kinds of plastic in our materials in order to collect them separately for recycling.

    “Self-interest is for the past, common interest is for the future. It is up to us to contribute to urgently needed changes to create a healthier, greener and cleaner planet which will benefit all of us.” – Gabriela, Master student in the Moriggl Lab

    A big shout out to Gabriela and Marie from our lab who contacted the organization and developed a recycling concept that we can all stick to!

  • Heidi Neubauer and Richard Moriggl join the ERAPerMed JAKSTAT-TARGET and the ERANET-PLL consortia meeting in Lyon

    Productive presentations at the consortia-meeting in Lyon.

    The joint consortia meeting in Lyon/France between the ERAPerMed JAKSTAT-TARGET and the ERANET-PLL consortium (November 18 – 20, 2021) was the first in person meeting for all members since 2019. Most PIs could attend and the meeting resulted in very productive discussions and strengthened our collaborative efforts.

    Thanks to all attending colleagues for this inspiring time in this beautiful city.
