We study how genomes change shape to make biology work through genomics, imaging, reconstitution, & computation.

@gerlichlab.bsky.socialWoot woot! 🎉 Congrats as well to Neos @neoscruz.bsky.social for being one of the two Recess 2026 poster prize awardees! Way to go!
@gerlichlab.bsky.socialRecess time at IMP–IMBA @impvienna.bsky.social @imbavienna.bsky.social ! ✨ Yesterday, Daniel @danielgerlich.bsky.social took the stage to present some of the latest work from the Gerlich Lab. Always a great opportunity to hear exciting science from across both institutes.
@gerlichlab.bsky.socialLast week, we said goodbye to our PhD student—now Dr. Max @mfdspicer.bsky.social 👋. It’s been a pleasure having you as part of the lab over the past few years. The whole lab wishes you all the best for what comes next. Cheers, Max! 🎉🍻
@gerlichlab.bsky.socialNeos @neoscruz.bsky.social is on a roll! Last week, he gave his second Monday Seminar, presenting his PhD research to the @viennabiocenter.bsky.social community. Another big milestone in his PhD. Good job, Neos! 👏🧬
@gerlichlab.bsky.socialAt Falling Walls Lab Vienna, 10 early-career researchers had just 3 minutes each to explain a complex research idea clearly and convincingly. Neos was selected among the top 3 pitches of the competition. Bravo! 🎉👏

@gerlichlab.bsky.socialCongratulations to Neos @neoscruz.bsky.social on placing 3rd last week at Falling Walls Lab Vienna 2026! 🎉 In his pitch, “Breaking the Wall of RNA’s Hidden Shape,” he showed how his PhD work lets us visualize the shapes of individual mRNA molecules inside cells.
@gerlichlab.bsky.socialLast week, we said goodbye to Enzo @enzozenner.bsky.social and William @williamle2585.bsky.social 👋 . Enzo joined us for a few months to work on his Master’s thesis, while William joined us through the Vienna BioCenter Summer School. It was great having you, and all the best to you both! ✨
@gerlichlab.bsky.socialCongratulations @golobor.bsky.social and the whole team! Always great collaborating on some very cool science 🧬👏
@golobor.bsky.socialReposted by @gerlichlab.bsky.socialThomas Steinacker from @gerlichlab.bsky.social found a way to verify this using optical microscopy and RASER-FISH. He developed strand-specific probes and hybridized them to individual sisters, thus measuring distances between sister loci and visualizing the shift. 8/
