- August 2022: Ilaria Dorigatti, our new PhD student, has been nominated for the "2nd Immunis Sponsorship for Young Science" by Szabo-Scandic for her project where she will explore the role and significance of PEDS1 in the framework of the whole hematopoietic system. Congratulations Ilaria!
- March 2022: CMLS has just accepted our paper "Essential role of a conserved aspartate for the enzymatic activity of plasmanylethanolamine desaturase". Thank you to the Liedl group here in Innsbruck for the excellent collaboration.
- November 2021: What a breakthrough: Our research group project "Oxidative damage & repair of membrane lipids in health and disease" was funded by the Austrian Science Fund FWF. This will link the laboratories of Markus Keller, Judith Hagenbuchner, Lukas Neumann, Timon Adolph and me tightly together for the next years to come. Follow us also on https://www.i-med.ac.at/fg15/.
- March 2021: Excellent news: The Austrian Science Fund FWF grants our stand-alone project! For the next four years, we will work on “Dissecting the role of plasmalogens in ether lipid-associated pathologies” in close collaboration with our national research partner Prof. Dr. Johannes Berger from the Medical University of Vienna and his team.
- March 2021: Our paper “When the genome bluffs: a tandem duplication event during generation of a novel Agmo knockout mouse model fools routine genotyping” has been accepted in Cell & Bioscience. Congratulations to the first authors Sabrina and Stefan!
- January 2021: Our Review on “The Emerging Physiological Role of AGMO 10 Years after Its Gene Identification” is out!
