Neues vom Fettstoffwechsel

Monika Oberer untersucht Struktur und biologische Funktion von Proteinen im Fettstoffwechsel.

Monika Oberer untersucht Struktur und biologische Funktion von Proteinen im Fettstoffwechsel.

Kardinal-Innitzer-Preis für Biowissenschafterin der Uni Graz

Ass.-Prof. Dr. Monika Oberer vom Institut für Molekulare Biowissenschaften der Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz erhält am 14. Dezember 2013 den Kardinal-Innitzer-Förderungspreis. In ihren Forschungen versucht sie, die Beziehungen zwischen der Struktur von Proteinen und deren biologischer Funktion in wichtigen vitalen Systemen aufzuklären. In ihrer Habilitationsschrift befasst sie sich konkret mit der Aktivierung und Hemmung von Enzymen des Fettstoffwechsels. Ein besseres Verständnis dieser Enzyme und ihrer Steuerung eröffnen auch der Medizin und Ernährungslehre die Aussicht, in den Stoffwechsel prophylaktisch und therapeutisch eingreifen zu können.

Die 40-jährige Steirerin studierte an der Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz Chemie und promovierte 2002 „sub auspiciis praesidentis“. Anschließlich war sie vier Jahre lang an der Harvard Medical School als Postdoc tätig. Derzeit leitet die Mutter von zwei kleinen Kindern eine Forschungsgruppe am Institut für Molekulare Biowissenschaften der Uni Graz, um die Struktur-Funktions-Beziehungen von Proteinen im Fettstoffwechsel zu ergründen. Mit diesem Thema befasst sich auch die Habilitationsschrift mit dem Titel „Proteins at the Center Stage: Structure-Function Relationship of Proteins in Lipid Metabolism“.

Austria has 77 higher education institutions, which is above the EU average – but does this really make sense? The new Higher Education Strategy 2040 focuses on cooperation rather than mergers. As one of the six largest universities in Austria, the University of Graz plays a central role in this.

Climate research in Greenland: Old data provides new insights

The polar explorer and University of Graz professor Alfred Wegener left behind a unique collection of climate data from Greenland. A research team from the University of Graz is now analysing this 100-year-old treasure trove of data and comparing it with current measurements.

Diversity in nature and science: How we talk about plants and each other

Ginkgo, kiwi, hemp: they exist as male and female plants. Anyone who paid attention in biology class will confirm this. But is this categorisation, established by Carl von Linné almost 300 years ago, still valid today? An interdisciplinary team at the University of Graz is questioning these attributions and using this as a starting point to provide food for thought for gender-sensitive interaction between students, scientific and teaching staff.

Around the world in eight stops: the Long Night of Research at the University of Graz

On 24 April from 5 pm, you can take a short trip around the globe at the University of Graz, discovering pecularities of foreign countries or new local features in the entrance hall of the University Library. The itinerary takes you through introduced animal species, political attitudes and the omnipotence of algorithms. There will also be a programme in the historic reading hall, as well as at the UniGraz@Museum and the University Archive.
