Penninger Lab

Congratulations! Mariam successfully defended her master thesis „Mapping ACE2 dependency during SARS-CoV-2 infection” 👏🥂

Congratulations to Max Kellner, former PhD student in Josef Penninger’s lab, who was awarded a Vienna BioCenter PhD Award for his thesis, in which he developed bat-derived organoids to investigate why bats can carry highly pathogenic viruses without falling ill. More: https://imba.science/4r5X0TE

🎉 Congratulations to Max Kellner, former PhD student in the Penninger Lab, who was presented with the ÖGBMT Life Sciences PhD Award Austria. The award recognizes Kellner’s PhD research on how dangerous viruses emerge from natural reservoirs like bats. More: https://imba.science/3KiRYSN

🦇 Fledertiere können verschiedene hochgefährliche Viren in sich tragen, ohne sichtbar zu erkranken. @mjkellner.bsky.social & @penningerlab.bsky.social haben nun die zellulären antiviralen Abwehrmechanismen in den Schleimhäuten der Tiere untersucht.

Great collaboration on blood vessel organoids to model human vascular development and disease 🧫🔬

For research times have become more difficult in many places. We want to spread positivity and show appreciation for our city: We enjoy living and conducting research in Vienna – great science, hospitals, people & art!

Huge congrats to Gustav Jonsson on his successful completion of his PhD studying biomarkers of clear cell renal cell carcinoma! 💛 #proudlab

Proud of Max Kellner, who defended his PhD this week. A successful conclusion of his PhD journey and start of his own group very soon! 🦇🧫🦠

Hi 🦋! Did you know? Glycans—complex sugar structures—decorate almost every protein processed by the ER/Golgi. These N-glycans coat our cells, playing critical roles in cell interactions and immune processes. 🍬 Curious about how they vary? Let’s dive in! #GlycoTime

Perfect for our first post: big collaborate effort spearheaded by Masahiro Onji showing how sex hormones and RANK regulate gut expansion during reproduction 🤰🤱
