2024: Conference of the Austrian Society for Electron Microscopy
On April 12, 2024, the annual electron microscopy conference of the Austrian Society for Electron Microscopy took place at the Medical University of Graz. More than 160 participants took part in the varied conference program on medical research, life sciences and materials science. The successful BioTechMed-Graz event was organized by the Medical University of Graz and the University of Graz. The hosts from Med Uni Graz were Gerd Leitinger, current President of the Austrian Society for Electron Microscopy, and Dagmar Kolb.
The highlights of the conference:
- Awarding of the Fritz-Grasenick-Price to Sebastian Antreich for Life Sciences and Zhuo Chen for Material Sciences
- Key-note lecture by Simone Pokrant (Paris Lodron University Salzburg) on radiation-sensitive samples in electron microscopy, which covered both materials science and life sciences
- BioTechMed-Graz Plenary Lecture by Peter Hinterdorfer (Johannes Kepler University Linz) in which the latest findings from virus research using single-molecule atomic force microscopy were presented
- Peter Schattschneider from the Vienna University of Technology was elected Honorary Member of the Board of Directors
2024: 10th Theodor Escherich Symposium
On January 18 and 19, 2024, the 10th Theodor Escherich Symposium took place at the Medical University of Graz.
The 2024 symposium was held as a hybrid conference and welcomed international experts in the field to discuss the diverse perspectives of microbiome research.
On the topic of Microbiome Dynamics, Cameron R. Strachan spoke on "Exploring trade-offs in carbon utilization at multiple levels of differentiation in the rumen microbiome"; Xiaoqian Yu on "Genome-wide sweeps are fundamental adaptive units in the human gut microbiome"; Rokhsareh Mohammadzadeh on "Age-Related Dynamics of Methanogenic Archaea in the Human Gut Microbiome: Implications for Longevity and Health"; Christa Nöhammer on "Microbiome research tools beyond 16S rRNA and shotgun sequencing"; Marija Durdevic on "Decoding FMT Dynamics in UC: Early Assessment of Functional, Metabolic, and Taxonomic Predictors" and Sean Gibbons on "Parsing and interpreting the various dynamical regimes of the human gut microbiota".
The program, the abstract book and the flyer can be found here.
