Celebration & Perutz Lectures

  Jun 24 - Jun 24, 2025

  Marx Palast, Vienna BioCenter Austria

This year, the Max Perutz Labs are celebrating 20 years of transformative basic research. Dedicated to a mechanistic understanding of fundamental biomedical processes, the Perutz has grown into an internationally recognized research institution.

Symposium

  Apr 10 - Apr 11, 2025

  IMP lecture hall, Vienna BioCenter

The symposium will explore the intricate "tiles" that form the vast and diverse fields of molecular biology and aims to foster discussions and inspire collaborations by bringing the “tiles of life” together. The program includes several talks by esteemed and international speakers sharing their latest findings to link the molecular mosaic of the cell - from structures to organisms. Additionally, we will highlight the research of the SMICH community on campus by complementing the program with student talks.

  17:00

  UBB (Djerassiplatz 1), Lecture Hall

We are delighted to invite you to a public lecture by former Perutz group leader Emmanuelle Charpentier, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry (2020).

Talk and Exhibition "Breathing at High Altitude" - Speaker: Prof. Thomas Leonard

  May 31 - May 31, 2022

  University of Vienna, Marietta Blau lecture hall and courtyard (Arkadenhof), Universitätsring 1

Max Perutz’ scientific journey from the Theresianum in Vienna to the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge arguably laid the foundations of modern molecular biology. Awarded the Nobel Prize in 1962 for his work on hemoglobin, Max’ legacy continues today at the research institute that bears his name in the city where he was born.

You will hear about Max’ natural curiosity, the scientific question that he dedicated most of his life to answering - how does hemoglobin transport oxygen? - and the tireless perseverance required to achieve his goal.

An exhibition on the life and science of Max F. Perutz

  May 19 - Jun 15, 2022

  University of Vienna, Inner court (Arkadenhof), Universitätsring 1

“Breathing at High Altitude” is an exhibition dedicated to the personal life and science of Max F. Perutz, a pioneer of 20thcentury molecular biology. The exhibition sheds light on Max Perutz’s fascinating life, celebrates his love for mountains, and visualizes “breathing” in a unique way. It will be a rewarding experience for scientists and non-scientists alike.

May 19 – June 15 Mon – Fri 9:00 – 18:00 University of Vienna, Inner court (Arkadenhof), Universitätsring 1, 1010 Vienna

  Sep 28 - Sep 29, 2021

  IMP lecture hall, Vienna BioCenter

After 15 successful years, FWF funding of our Doctoral School in RNA Biology (DK RNA-Biologie, https://www.phd-rna-biology.at) comes to an end. Therefore, we would like to invite all people involved to celebrate this long-lasting support of the Viennese RNA community with the "Vienna RNA Meeting 2021".

Symposium

  Apr 22 - Apr 23, 2021

  Virtual symposium, hosted at the Vienna BioCenter

This year, the Microsymposium is a two-day international conference that brings together young scientists, junior and senior group leaders from all over the world to present and discuss their latest findings in the exciting field of small RNAs and other RNA biology related topics. The Microsymposium was founded in 2005 and has established itself as the major small RNA meeting in Europe. It is organized by the four research institutions GMI, IMBA, IMP, and Max Perutz Labs, as well as by the RNA community of the Vienna BioCenter.

The Microsymposium is a registration-free meeting for all its participants!

Symposium

  Feb 11 - Feb 12, 2021

  Online on Zoom

The "Inside: The dark side of the cell" online symposium will take place on 11-12 February 2021 on Zoom. An interesting lineup of keynote speakers will provide an overview of current research, challenges and advances in the field of proteostasis, autophagy, stem cells, gene expression and inflammation. The symposium is organised by students of the doctoral programme “Signaling mechanisms in cellular homeostasis” based at the Max Perutz Labs, University of Vienna and Medical University of Vienna.
