July & August: We are happy that Jahn Werner Ramming joins us for working on his diploma thesis in medicine.

June: After the hearing in the PhD program Molecular Medicine, we have decided to ask Stefan Dobersberger and Elisabeth Seles to join us for making their PhD in our laboratory. We are happy that both guys accepted our invitation and look forward to welcome them.

Great news: Roland's grant on "Regulation of SOCE by mitochondria" (P22553) has been accepted by the FWF. This will be a thrilling project and we are looking forward to further investigate this interesting topic in collaboration with Maud Frieden (Geneva, CH), Klaus Groschner (Graz, A), György Hajnóczky (Philadelphia, USA) and Christoph Romanin (Linz, A).

May 18th: Ismene Fertschai successfully defended her thesis and gave a very nice talk on her work. Great Job, Ismene! We congratulate Ismene very much and look forward to the big “Get Together” next week…..

From April 19th - May 8th: we have moved most of our laboratory to a new space on another floor of the same building but five floors away. Due to some delay in the delivery of instruments and other devices, the molecular biology part still remains on its old location but we hope to move this part very soon too. ONce we have finsihed, we will put some picts of our great new lab here, so please check a bit later again.

April 1st: Markus Waldeck-Weiermair got a University Assistent position in our team.

Finally, I (wfg) will hold my inaugural lecture entitled "BELOVED FOREIGNERS: Mitochondria, energy-loaded geniuses or dangerous troublemakers" on March 5th 2010. The lecture will be given in the Hörsaalzentrum, Medical University Graz, Auenbruggerplatz 15, 8036 Graz, Austria. [invitation card]

March: Sadly we have to say that "our" Lexie (Alexandra Barbulescu) had to leave and go home for personal reasons. We truly miss her enthusiasm and spirit in science and her warmhearted way. Truly, it was a pleasure to have her in teh lab and we wish her all the best for the future and hope to see her again soon.

January 25th: We are very happy to inform that Roland Malli, Ph.D. was promoted to Associate Professor from February 2010. By that he is amoung the first Associate Professors at this institution, which changed its career developing and promotion system very recently.

 

January 22th: Philipp Peinhopf was awarded by the ministry of education in Vienna, Austria for the achievements and quality of the project Philipp achieved when he was under the supervision of Roland Malli, Ph.D. in our laboratory last summer. Philipp and Roland went to Vienna where there got their award from federal minister for Transport, Innovation and Technology, Doris Bures.
