It’s been an eventful year for all of us! Our Christmas party was a great reminder of the team spirit behind the science & we’re excited to take on the challenges of 2026. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year from the Laboratory of Integrative Biology!
It was a great pleasure to host Selma Osmanagic-Myers (@Selma_OsMyers) from @MedUni_Wien. Six inspiring months exploring the crossroads of mechanobiology and aging - an excellent foundation for future projects and papers! #mechanobiology, #aging
Honored to receive Best Poster Award at the Falk Foundation Workshop: All Aspects of Fibrosis in Berlin!
Also attended Symposium 242: Advances in Hepatology- an inspiring opportunity to share my research and connect with leading experts.
Grateful to organizers & Falk Foundation
At #WMS2025 in Vienna? Check out our PhD student Vera Getmanchuk-Zaporoshchenko’s poster on phenotyping a preclinical model of plectin-related LGMD. #LGMD#MuscularDystrophy"
Huge congrats to our PhD student, @101piyush, for presenting his work on Flipper-TR probe applied to Circulating Tumor Cells at #Czechbioimaging's Imaging Principles of Life 2025 conference in Brno! He had amazing discussions and valuable feedback. Way to go, Piyush!" @imgprague

🧠✨ Scientists from @ibtcas & Grenoble reveal a new piece of the #TubulinCode!
The polyglutamylase TTLL11 directly elongates C-terminal tubulin tails, providing insights into the regulation of microtubule function and interactions.
