Forschung fördern

Junge Forscherinnen mit großer Förderung: Senka Holzer (Med Uni Graz), Natalia Zaretskaya (Uni Graz) und Anita Emmerstorfer-Augustin (TU Graz) erhielten zusammengerechnet 1,95 Millionen Euro vom Verbund BioTechMed-Graz für ihre Forschungsvorhaben. Alle Fotos: Uni Graz/Leljak.

BioTechMed-Graz unterstützt wissenschaftliche Projekte mit insgesamt 3,15 Millionen Euro

BioTechMed-Graz, die Kooperation zwischen Universität Graz, Medizinischen Universität Graz und der TU Graz mit dem Ziel einer gemeinsamen Forschung für Gesundheit, fördert im Rahmen des „Young Researcher Groups“-Programms besonders herausragende und vielversprechende Postdocs beim Aufbau einer eigenständigen Forschungsgruppe.

In einem kompetitiven, öffentlichen Hearing wurden kürzlich drei Forscherinnen von einem Fachkomitee ausgewählt, jeweils eine von Uni Graz, Med Uni und TU Graz, und mit insgesamt 1,95 Millionen Euro gefördert:

•    Anita Emmerstorfer-Augustin (TU Graz): How membrane lipids cross-talk with the cell wall: A study using sterol modified Pichia pastoris
•    Senka Holzer (Med Uni Graz): Targeting Excitation-Transcription Coupling for Managing Hypertensive Cardiomyopathy
•    Natalia Zaretskaya (Uni Graz): Neural mechanisms of subjective visual experience

Auch die ProjektleiterInnen der Leuchtturmprojektausschreibung 2019 stellten ihre interdisziplinären und inter-universitären Projektideen der internationalen Fachjury und dem Publikum vor. Ziel der Leuchtturmprojekt-Förderung ist es, wissenschaftlich exzellente Projekte, die eine realistische Chance haben Drittmittelgroßprojekte zu akquirieren und somit die internationale Sichtbarkeit des Standortes Graz erhöhen, zu fördern. Hier wurden insgesamt 1,2 Millionen Euro für die Förderung folgender Projekte vergeben.

•    Brigitte Pertschy (Uni Graz): Dynamics of subcellular partitioning through protein modification
•    Thomas Pieber (Med Uni Graz): MIDAS - Inflammatory Mechanisms in Diabetes Uncovered by Tissue Imaging and Machine Learning

Die international renommierten ExpertInnen bewerteten alle Projektanträge aufgrund der schriftlichen Gutachten von FWF nominierten ExpertInnen, den Präsentationen vor Ort sowie der Diskussion mit den AntragsstellerInnen. Rund 140 Personen nutzten außerdem die Gelegenheit, die Präsentationen der Projektanträge im Meerscheinschloss zu verfolgen.

Jurassic Sounds: Biologist reconstructs insect songs from 165 million years ago

It was apparently not just the roars of the dinosaurs that made up the soundscape of the animal world during the Jurassic period. Crickets and grasshoppers communicated through a variety of songs and high-pitched sounds, as Thorin Jonsson from the Institute of Biology at the University of Graz discovered together with colleagues from the universities of Lincoln, Bristol (UK), Beijing (China) and Tempe (USA). The findings on what are so far the oldest traces of sound on Earth have just been published in the journal PNAS.

EU funding boosts international exchange between universities

The University of Graz is further expanding its international study opportunities through the European university alliance Arqus and is taking the lead in two key projects. In future, students will benefit from even more joint degree programmes and from simplified recognition of academic achievements through the Joint European Degree Label.

Rescue and risks: Researchers have surveyed public perceptions of AI

The use of artificial intelligence has had to be made transparent since 2 August 2026. The EU’s AI Act, which has been in force since then, also sets out how risky an application is and which security measures apply as a result. However, the assessment of risks by the legislation differs in some cases significantly from the perceptions of the Austrian public. This is the finding of a representative study carried out by data scientist Stefan Thalmann from the University of Graz and his team.

The Healing Sea: Researchers discover new approaches to treating chronic inflammation in sponges

Chronic inflammation plays a key role in many diseases, ranging from metabolic disorders and cardiovascular diseases to tissue damage following injuries or infections. “Normally, the body is able to resolve inflammation on its own. If this process becomes unbalanced, immune cells remain permanently active and continue to drive negative changes in the tissue,” explains Andreas Koeberle, a pharmacist at the University of Graz.
