Looking boldly into the future while keeping the lessons of history in mind. Celebrating the opening of @meduniwien.ac.at‘s two new institutes: the Center for Translational Medicine and the Eric Kandel Institute - Center for Precision Medicine, together with my @maxperutzlabs.ac.at colleagues.

How do you indicate in a slide deck that an image is AI-generated (and not real data or human-made artwork) in a clear yet unobtrusive way? Today I saw a great solution: a small astroid (the geometric shape, not an asteroid), similar to the Gemini logo. Simple, subtle, and easily recognizable.
An astroid: a pinched, concave diamond-shaped geometric object.

Around 21,000 demonstrators gathered in Vienna today to protest the budget cuts for public universities #UnisRetten

Our newest piece of lab equipment: Bio-Rad’s “Buffer C dispenser”, developed in cooperation with De’Longhi. A discreet bench-top device that won’t raise suspicions with the lab safety officers.

Dear @nature.com publishing group: We swallowed your $12k article processing charge, but the name of your new journal is too much…

Join me tomorrow 4 Feb at 14:00 CET for an educational seminar about single-cell transcriptomics in virology: Register here: us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi... This is seminar 1 of the new season of @gesvirologie.bsky.social's ACHIEVE Academy's 'How-To' seminars, targeted at PhD and Master's students.

Our approach resolves proteomics dynamics. Check out how the proteome is remodeled upon infection with HCoV-OC43. Turns out that protein relocalization is largely orthogonal to regulation at the protein abundance level. 2/3

Time to share our organelle proteome paper out in @cellcellpress.bsky.social: doi.org/nzwz We created a spatial map of human cells using organelle immunoprecipitation at scale. Locate your fav protein among the 7,600 we mapped across 19 subcellular compartments: organelles.sf.czbiohub.org/ 1/3 🧪
Graphical abstract of the Organelle Profiling paper, showing the workflow:
Endogenously tagged organelle library;
Native IP proteomics;
Data-driven graph clustering;
resulting in a subcellular proteome map with
more than 7,600 proteins localized across 19 subcellular compartments.

I'm super happy to be among the awardees of the 2024 WWTF Life Sciences grant. Together with Irene Görzer's lab at the Center for Virology of MedUni Vienna, we received 900k€ to study anelloviruses, an elusive yet ubiquitous family of viruses that infect virtually all humans without causing disease.

I got back from the #ProteinSignaling2023 meeting in Hillerød, DK, where I had the distinct honor to have my talk live-illustrated by Eleonora Nigro (@nigrelex on TwiX)
