The IMP is a leading life science centre in Europe with 220 researchers from 40 countries. Part of the ViennaBioCenter.
@impvienna.bsky.social@impvienna.bsky.socialSascha Amann won the 2026 Rabitsch Award! 🏆 A recent PhD graduate from the CryoEM Technology Platform, Amann received the award for his research on how the proteasome recognises and degrades proteins tagged with ubiquitin: https://bit.ly/4hQTCs1
@impvienna.bsky.socialResearchers from our Plaschka lab expected one molecular motor to dismantle the cell’s RNA-editing machine. Instead, they found three. Like three hands untying a knot, the motors act in sequence to take the spliceosome apart: https://bit.ly/4AQnqNQ
@impvienna.bsky.socialDuring Postdoc Appreciation Week, Vienna BioCenter postdocs hosted the Postdoc Networking Day—a lively day of new connections, shared ideas, and community at the IMP Lecture Hall.

@impvienna.bsky.social@impvienna.bsky.socialShe’s coming to the IMP, and she’s recruiting! 🔬 Doris Kaltenecker will join the IMP as a Group Leader in March 2027. Her lab will study organ-to-organ communication in systemic diseases, with a focus on cancer cachexia:
@impvienna.bsky.social🎉 Congratulations to our Julia Bubis, postdoc at the Proteomics Technology Hub, on receiving the 2026 ÖGMBT Life Sciences Research Award Austria. Her award-winning workflow can quantify up to 5,300 proteins in a single cell: https://bit.ly/46nTZF9

@impvienna.bsky.socialFor nearly 40 years, Sanger sequencing has supported research at the IMP—from radioactive gels read by hand to automated systems processing hundreds of thousands of samples a year. As the service moves to an external provider, we look back at its remarkable journey: https://bit.ly/4cT44xi

@impvienna.bsky.socialIMP postdoc Elias Adriaenssens has received an ERC Starting Grant worth close to €1.5 million. He will study how cells decide when to dispose of their organelles—and how they prevent healthy ones from being destroyed: https://bit.ly/4zUBQMy
