A lovely article summarising the computational part of our new project PhotoMel! We aim to reveal new pathways in melanoma pathogenesis by modelling cell-ECM interactions. Computer model could help improve our understanding of how skin cancer spreads www.staff.universiteitleiden.nl/news/2026/08...

What at success story!!! The HPV vaccination scheme in the UK completely eradicated cervical cancer mortality in young adults aged 20-24 years! I am glad that Austria also has a free vaccinate scheme - my boys got vaccinated and can now help eradicate cancer 💪 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Masses took to the streets of Vienna to protest planned budget cuts in education and research! It was amazing to see so many young people ... get up, stand up... stand up for their right! The right to quality education without limitations #UnisRetten

„Bildung ist eine zentrale Zukunftsinvestition“, schreibt das Bundeskanzleramt. Doch jetzt plant die Bundesregierung massive Kürzungen bei den Universitäten. Das gefährdet Forschung, Lehre und damit unsere gemeinsame Zukunft. mein.aufstehn.at/petitions/un...

Jetzt unterzeichnen: #unisretten – keine Kürzungen bei den Universitäten!

Die Regierung plant massive Einsparungen bei den Universitäten. Forschung, Lehre und freie Wissenschaft stehen jetzt auf dem Spiel.

… and the Nobel Prize goes to … three amazing immunologists: Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell, and Shimon Sakaguchi for research on immune tolerance. I was lucky enough to hear Dr Sakaguchi’s talk recently at IUIS in Vienna and it was amazing! Tregs rock 🥳 🤘🏻!

Spektakuläre Baustellenbesichtigung des neuen Zentrums für Translationsle Medizin @meduniwien.ac.at! PV-Module am Dach, Abwärmenutzung, Dachbegrünung und hoffentlich bald translationale Spitzenforschung drinnen! Noch heißts Helm auf, aber jetzt schon Hut ab an alle Beteiligten! #ichforschegerninwien

Bioimaging and bioimage analysis friends, some help if you have 2-3 mins; for a paper, we're trying to estimate the number of biologists trained in open source software or tools in the last ~5 years. (1/2) #bioimaging #microscopy #bioimageanalysis

You are kidding me 🤯 reloading one of the biggest frauds in scientific history! Several scientists have shown that there is no connection, so why roll it up again? Money going the wrong direction… we have plenty of unsolved health problems on earth to tackle!

Many thanks to Boris Hinz for the amazing comment on our paper! www.jidonline.org/article/S002... While working on a research topic you always think it is the coolest thing on earth, but when an expert in the field is enjoying reading your paper and likes the study it doesn't get any better 🥳

Happy Women and Girls in Science Day 🥳 I am really looking forward to today's lecture at the Medical University of Vienna featuring Elisabeth Bik, THE image forensic expert!
