IMP

At the IMP we’re dedicated to the fun of finding out. Few places in the world let you dive into curiosity-driven science like we do.

Congratulations to our Katerina Popova and Julia Lammerding on their FEMtech fellowships! 🎉 The master’s students in Johannes Zuber’s lab will study cancer vulnerabilities and treatment-response biomarkers, supported by this FFG programme promoting women in research:

🎉 Congratulations to our postdoc Tomas Pachano (Stark lab) on joining the FWF’s ESPRIT programme! With support from the FWF, Pachano will study how pathogens manipulate human cells and aims to build the first pan-pathogen functional atlas of effector activity:

Sascha 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: bit.ly/4hQTCs1

Researchers 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: bit.ly/4AQnqNQ
