We know that Twitter/X is not all about Elon. But enough is enough: NIH defunded, female scientists’ bios deleted and a list of words banned from research. We don’t want to be near that guy and his war on science. See you over at bsky.app/profile/lbitra…, Instagram or LinkedIn!

Celebrating Dr Sergiu Dumitrescu’s successful PhD defense at @MedUni_Wien! His work shows that certain reactive oxygen species from NOX4 are essential for the proliferation of human amniotic stem cells. Sergiu will continue as a Postdoc in the Sepsis-Trauma-Shock Group of @osuchm

Congrats to Vanessa Geyik on earning her MSc. Vanessa worked on vascularized skin equivalents with perfused hierarchical vasculature, to be used in wound healing & aging studies. Big thanks to Barbara Bachmann, Heinz Redl, & Mikolaj Ogrodnik for their guidance.

Our Susanne Wolbank, Head of Cell-Based Therapies Research, opened the Amnion Session at the Annual Conference of the European Association of Cell and Tissue Banks (EACTB) with her keynote lecture "Amniotic Membrane 2.0 – Outlook on Next Generation Products".

Congrats to Sara Kostrebic on earning her MSc! Her thesis 'Identifying Cellular Factors in Trauma-Induced Frailty,' explores how aging affects recovery from injury. She completed her work under the guidance of @Kaevaldivieso , Mikolaj Ogrodnik, and Gordin Zupkovitz.
