Life Science Tuesday #2/12 – “RNA Biology” - October 20 - Program & Abstract Booklet
Friday, 16 October 2020 12:58FREE REGISTRATION FOR PERSONAL MEMBERS
Our first Life Science Tuesday “Lipids and Metabolism” was well attended, the discussions in the breakout rooms were lively, the Short Talks by young talents were on a high standard and we were enthused by the quality and creativity of the Science Flashes. Thanks to all who participated!
We expect no less at our next Life Science Tuesday #2/12 dedicated to “RNA Biology” supported by Lexogen – October 20 from 13:30 – 18:00 hrs, chaired by Brigitte Pertschy & Sebastian Falk.
Invited Speaker Marlene Oeffinger (Institut de recherches cliniques de Montréal, CA) will be talking about “Nuclear mRNA metabolism directs specialization of the nuclear pore complex in yeast”, followed by 4 Short talks and 4 Science flashes by young talents. Last but not least, Renée Schroeder will be giving a presentation on the “Historical Perspective on RNA Research".
Please find here the program/abstract booklet for the afternoon and the teaser video.

From September 21-23 our virtual meeting room will stage the Kick off event (2 sessions/day à 2h). You will hear lectures from renowned Plenary Speakers, our Austrian Life Science Awards Austria 2020 winners and get insights into the latest Corona research conducted in Austria. We will feature the Life Science Career Fair and will hear and discuss about cryo-EM and healthy ageing in the 21st Century, as Graz special contribution. Our much appreciated exhibition will be an interactive VirtualExpo (with live chat and live video calls), which will accompany us starting from the kick-off event on throughout the period of all Life Science Tuesdays.
Following the Kick off event, our virtual meeting room will open its’ doors for bi-weekly Life Science Tuesdays, where we will spend an afternoon together focussing and interacting on a specific topic – centrepieces will be invited talks, short talks, “Science Flashes” in lieu of posters, workshops/webinars and the VirtualExpo. A separate Exhibitor Quiz will take place at every Life Science Tuesday- so you have 12 chances to win!

The FEBS3+ LS2 Annual Meeting in Zurich – an insight from a young scientist
Tuesday, 25 February 2020 04:12On February 13th and 14th more than 400 scientists from different countries and scientific backgrounds gathered together in Zurich for this year’s FEBS3+ Life Science Switzerland (LS2) Annual Meeting 2020 under the theme "Cells, Molecules and Organisms", including numerous scientists from Austria. It was the first time that this meeting was jointly organized with the German Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (GBM), as well as the Austrian Association of Molecular Life Sciences and Biotechnology (ÖGMBT) - and it was a huge success.
Students and Young Scientists
A membership in the ÖGMBT brings a whole range of advantages already during your studies. This is reflected, among other things, in the large number of activities that enable to exchange and network with other students, young professionals and scientists across institutes and even across countries. As a Bachelor student I experienced this once more by getting the opportunity to participate at the FEBS3+ LS2 meeting. Already last year, at the 11th Annual Meeting of the ÖGMBT in Salzburg, the Young Life Scientists Austria (YLSA) decided together with the Junior-GBM (jGBM) to attend the LS2 Annual Meeting to connect with the Swiss young scientists and learn from each other.
