Kompetenzzentrum für Biomarkerforschung an der Med Uni Graz

An der Medizinischen Universität Graz wird ein neues K1-Kompetenzzentrum für systematische Biomarkerforschung eingerichtet, welches ab Jänner 2015 interdisziplinär im Bereich der personalisierten Medizin Forschung betreibt. Die Identifikation neuer Biomarker wird unter anderem ein Forschungsauftrag des von Univ.-Prof. Dr. Thomas Pieber geleiteten Zentrums sein.
Im Kompetenzzentrum “CBmed – Centre for Biomarker Research in Medicine” positionieren sich unter der wissenschaftlichen Leitung von Univ.-Prof. Dr. Thomas Pieber, Med Uni Graz, verschiedene Institutionen an der Schnittstelle von Wissenschaft und Wirtschaft.

„BioTechMed-Graz, der Forschungsverbund von Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz, TU Graz und Med Uni Graz ist gemeinsam mit der Med Uni Wien, Joanneum Research und dem Austrian Institute of Technology AIT am Kompetenzzentrum beteiligt“, so Thomas Pieber. Ausgehend vom K-Projekt „BioPersMed“ an der Med Uni Graz forschen interdisziplinäre Teams seit 2010 an der Identifikation neuer Biomarker. Primäres Ziel der disziplinenübergreifenden Forschung ist der Fortschritt in der personalisierten Medizin bei der Behandlung von Volkskrankheiten, wie zum Beispiel Diabetes, Osteoporose, Herz- und Lebererkrankungen oder Krebs. Als wissenschaftliche Basis dient den ForscherInnen die Biobank an der Medizinischen Universität Graz, eine der größten Sammlungen biologischer Proben Europas.

„Das neue Kompetenzzentrum ist ein weiteres sichtbares Zeichen für den Erfolg der interuniversitären Forschungskooperation BioTechMed-Graz“, freuen sich die RektorInnen Harald Kainz, Christa Neuper und Josef Smolle unisono.

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.

Well prepared: start your studies with the Welcome Weeks

A new academic year, new degree programmes, new students. The University of Graz is kicking off the 2026 winter semester with a modern range of courses. Several new programmes are being launched this year, including the Bachelor’s degree in Early Years Education, which combines vocational training with academic research. Three newly designed degree programmes in art history offer contemporary perspectives on artistic production – from the Old Masters to AI art. First-year students in particular can immerse themselves in university life and gather all the essential information even before the semester begins: during the Welcome Weeks starting on 1 September.
