Open Science

Liebe ÖGMBT Mitglieder,

Der Sommer ist da und Open Science liefert aktuelle Lektüre für eine entspannte Zeit im Urlaub.

Gerade jetzt ist es wichtig die Haut vor der Sonne zu schützen - lernen Sie deshalb mehr über die menschliche Haut und testen Sie im Anschluss ihr Wissen in diesem Quiz.

Außerdem stellen wir zwei Wiener StartUps aus den Life Sciences vor und berichten über neue Entwicklungen in der österreichischen Forschung.

Auch im Vienna Open Lab ist der Sommer eingezogen. Während die ersten Sommeraktivitäten schon starten, gibt es noch letzte Plätze für das Summer Science Camp Profis (16-20 Jahre) und den Summer Science Day Mini (8-9 Jahre). Näheres finden Sie im Sommerprogramm.

Ende Juli sind wir mit einem Kurs des Vienna Open Lab bei der Kinderbusinessweek und werden anhand von Experimenten an Tier- und Pflanzenzellen den Beruf Molekularbiolog:in vorstellen!

Einen erholsamen Sommer und viel Spaß beim Schmökern und Lesen wünscht das Open Science Team!

Medizin - Mensch - Ernährung

Die menschliche Haut

Unsere Haut ist ein zentrales Organ mit zahlreichen lebenswichtigen Funktionen. Sie ist mehr als nur eine äußere Hülle – unter anderem schützt uns die Haut vor Krankheitserregern und ermöglicht Kommunikation mit der Umwelt. Dieser Beitrag fasst den Aufbau und die Funktionen der Haut zusammen.

Umwelt - Technik - Landwirtschaft

Österreich ist von der Klimakrise besonders betroffen

Der Zweite Österreichische Sachstandsbericht zum Klimawandel (AAR2) liefert auf rund 800 Seiten eine umfassende wissenschaftliche Analyse zum Klimawandel und seinen Folgen und Handlungsoptionen für Österreich.

Aktuelles

Unser Sommerprogramm 2025

Auch 2025 bieten wir im Sommer wieder unser Ferienprogramm mit Kursen für alle Altersstufen an. Die Anmeldung für das einwöchige Summer Science Camp Profis und den Summer Science Day Mini ist noch möglich!

Neurolentech: Startup gegen neurologische Entwicklungsstörungen

Neurolentech GmbH ist ein innovatives Biotechnologieunternehmen mit Sitz im niederösterreichischen Klosterneuburg, das sich der Erforschung und Entwicklung neuer Therapien für neurologische Erkrankungen wie Autismus, Epilepsie und geistige Behinderungen verschrieben hat.

Genetik und Zellbiologie

Wie der Axolotl Gliedmaßen nachwachsen lässt

Verlorene Arme und Beine einfach so nachwachsen lassen zu können, klingt nach Science-Fiction: für den Axolotl, einen mexikanischen Schwanzlurch, ist das Alltag. Forscher:innen aus Wien haben nun neue Details entdeckt, wie dieses erstaunliche Tier seine Körperteile erneuert.

Quiz

Haut-Quiz

Die Haut ist ein komplexes Organ des menschlichen Körpers mit vielfältigen Funktionen. Was wissen Sie eigentlich über den Aufbau und die Aufgaben der Haut? Ist die Haut tatsächlich das größte Organ des menschlichen Körpers? Testen Sie ihr Wissen in 10 Fragen rund um das Thema „Haut“. Unser Beitrag „Die menschliche Haut“ kann dabei hilfreich sein. Viel Erfolg!

The Joint FEBS|EMBO Lecture Courses Special 2005–2025 Award

Since 2005 FEBS and EMBO have collaborated to co-fund the Joint FEBS|EMBO Lecture Courses. In 2025 both organizations celebrate the delivery of over 50 courses funded together and to mark the occasion, we arranged a Joint FEBS|EMBO Lecture Courses Special 2005–2025 Award. Organizers of joint course were invited to present an award certificate to an early-career participant giving a short talk or poster presentation from a project that shows the value of collaborative research.

We are delighted to introduce the awardees from the first two joint courses of 2025:

·       Indra Bekere, from Technical University of Munich, who attended the joint course “Cell biology of host–pathogen interactions” (Blois, France | 26–30 May 2025).

·       Darya Chernikova, from Institute of Science and Technology Austria, who attended the joint course “Physical Virology: across length scales” (Sant Feliu de Guixols, Spain | 1–6 June 2025).
