🧬 What if you could read the "Book of Life"?
Today during Kinderuni at Medizinische Universität Wien, Christoph Bock (CeMM PI and MedUni Professor) took a curious crowd of 7 to 12-year-old school children on an exciting journey deep into our genes to learn how to read them. 📖
Together, they explored big questions: from why we look like our parents and share genes with the Neanderthal, to how DNA serves as a blueprint for our bodies and helps us fight diseases.
A big thank you to Christoph for an inspiring session that brought genetics to life for these young scientists!

From the air we breathe to the food we eat, we are constantly exposed to thousands of chemicals, but how they affect our health remains unclear. A new study published in 𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 and led by Adjunct PI Jörg Menche and a research team at CeMM and the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Network Medicine (Ludwig Boltzmann Gesellschaft), in collaboration with Adjunct PI Miriam Unterlass (Fraunhofer-Institut für Silicatforschung ISC and Universität Würzburg), focuses on what these chemicals do in the body rather than what they look like.

🏳️🌈✨ Proud to have marched together once again at 2026!
Last Saturday, the CeMM community once again joined the vibrant Vienna Pride celebrations as part of the Rainbow Alliance for Life Sciences and Medicine 🌈🔬
Together with colleagues and friends from AITHYRA, Medizinische Universität Wien, and ÖH Med Wien, we took to the streets to celebrate diversity and stand for visibility, equality, and representation.
For us, groundbreaking science thrives in an inclusive environment. This is why we are committed to ensuring our institutes remain welcoming and empowering spaces for everyone.
A big thank you to the CeMM team and our partner institutes who share our values and walked alongside us! 🫶

Last but not least, we shine a spotlight on the people behind the science: CeMM's Administration and Scientific Support teams!
At CeMM, research excellence relies on more than discoveries in the lab. An ever-evolving technical, operational, educational, financial, and ethical infrastructure, combined with the close collaboration between support and experimental teams, helps make innovation in molecular medicine possible.
In 2025, our teams supported initiatives ranging from organizing the first CeMM–AITHYRA Admin Retreat and the first CeMM-wide AI literacy workshop to strengthening PhD training, supporting successful grant applications, fostering entrepreneurship through the new Strategic Collaborative Program (SCP5), and launching CeMM's refreshed bilingual website.
Gathering in the 𝘍𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘏𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 Österreichische Akademie der Wissenschaften, colleagues reflected on their individual strengths and the importance of connecting people and departments to foster collaboration, build trust, and successfully support the institute.
At CeMM, advancing medicine is a true team effort!
