Jelle Jacobs is a postdoc in the lab of Alexander Stark. He recently published the main results of his postdoctoral research in the journal Science. With this accomplishment and the spirit of a community builder, he is ready to make the next step in his academic career, as a group leader – ideally in Vienna or in his native Belgium.
Breaking news! We're announcing the names of the six laureates of the International Birnstiel Award for Doctoral Studies in Molecular Life Sciences 2023! 🏆

The fifth edition of the International Birnstiel Award for Doctoral Studies in Molecular Life Sciences has seen a flow of 103 excellent applications, many leading research organisations from around the world brought their top-talent forward. Six exceptionally talented and accomplished young scientists were selected to receive the award in the frame of a ceremony at the Vienna BioCenter next month: Sam van Beljouw (TU Delft), Ana Paredes (Spanish National Center for Cardiovascular Research - CNIC), Ariën Schiepers (The Rockefeller University), Ida Jentoft (Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences), Rosalie Lipsh-Sokolik (Weizmann Institute of Science), and Stanislau Yatskevich (MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology / University of Cambridge).
The IMP has a long history of research with Pax5, an essential transcription factor for B cell development: Deputy Scientific Director Meinrad Busslinger and his lab have researched its functions for decades. Sarah Grünbacher, a recent graduate from the Vienna BioCenter PhD Program, explains their latest findings on the domains of Pax5, now published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine.
The Austrian Society for Molecular Biosciences and Biotechnology (ÖGMBT) acknowledges the outstanding contribution of young scientists through the annual Life Science Research and PhD Awards. David Hoi from the lab of Tim Clausen and Matthias Hinterndorfer from the lab of Johannes Zuber each won an award at this year’s ceremony for their exceptional doctoral theses.
Louisa Hill, former PhD student in the lab of Meinrad Busslinger, received the Karl Landsteiner Award of the Austrian Society of Allergology and Immunology in a ceremony held in Linz today. Her research on DNA recombination principles in early B cell development propelled our understanding of how a diverse antibody repertoire arises.
Congratulations to Patty Rothe (lab of Clemens Plaschka) and Monika Heinzl (lab of Alexander Stark) on being awarded Boehringer Ingelheim Fonds fellowships. These competitive fellowships are a great achievement for our two PhD students, well done!

Two PhD students at the IMP were awarded prestigious fellowships by the Boehringer Ingelheim Fonds: Monika Heinzl (Stark Lab) and Patty Rothe (Plaschka Lab) will not only fund their research projects through the fellowships, they will also join the network of aspiring early-career researchers that form the "BIF" community.
