Austrias Life Science Hot-Spot

ÖGMBT is a platform for scientific exchange and diversity by connecting researchers, students and corporates.

The 9th ÖGMBT Annual Meeting in Innsbruck included various sessions with top-class plenary speakers and gave young scientist the chance to present their work as short talk or during the poster session and get exchanged with colleagues.

The scientific get-to-gether presented current research in the key-disciplines:

Signaling in Cancer and Immunity, Lysosomes and Disease, Signaling Mechanisms: Protein Interaction, Epigenetics and Disease, RNA Biology, Translational Oncology, Stem Cells and Regeneration, Cell Division, Structural Biology & Biophysics and Satellite Meeting by Biophysics Austria.
The meeting was concluded by the session of Young Life Scientists Austria with the DKs MCBO, HOROS & SPIN and their extraordinary alumnies. The range and quality of bioscientific research in Austria was reflected by the top speakers that took stage throughout the meeting, including the following invited speakers:


FEBS National Lecture: Maria M. Mota iMM Lisboa, PT	Silvio Gutkind UCSD, US	Matthias Peter ETH, GE
