☝️ Event-Tipp:
Am Freitag, den 24.04.2026 findet in #Österreich die Lange Nacht der Forschung statt. An mehr als 300 Standorten können Besucher:innen 🔬 Wissenschaft & Forschung hautnah selbst erleben.
Auch an der Uni #Innsbruck gibt es vielfältige Stationen, z. B.:
- Roboter bauen
- antike Skulpturen aus Gips formen
- Eye Tracking ausprobieren
- alte Musikinstrumente erkunden
- und vieles mehr!

Without #science, there's no #future!
Our team participated in today's march in Innsbruck "Krach für die #Wissenschaft, weil's ohne Wissenschaft kracht!" Make some noise to support #publicscience #education and #funding
Great work from our PhD student Bea for her talk at the #LifeSciencePhDmeeting on neuronal population growth dynamics in #organoids. And congratulations to our Master student Lara for winning the best picture award. There were also amazing poster contributions from our lab members.

If you are attending the SY-STEM today, join the talk of our PostDoc Elisa Gabassi on #organoids and new regulators of #aging
Congratulations to our #PhD candidate Amelie Schurer for being awarded the Forschungspreis 2025 by the Wirtschaftskammer Tirol. Amelie's work focused on identifying #genes involved in human #brain #aging using #organoids
We are happy to share that Angeliki's #research has been funded from the Tiroler Wissenschaftsfonds! This generous support from the State of Tirol will enable us to advance our research in neurodevelopmental psychiatric disorders, strengthening our commitment to scientific excellence and innovation.
Our PostDoc Angeliki Spathopoulou finished 2025 with the Award of Excellence from the #BMFWF for her work on #stemcells applied to neuropsychiatric disorders.
