Congrats to @alex_lercher, former CeMM PhD student at @bergthalerlab, on receiving one of the @ascina Young Scientist Awards 2025! 👏 The prize honors his 2024 @ImmunityCP paper revealing how the innate immune system can develop antiviral memory. 🔗Paper: https://t.co/5nuRJBWCQb

New #EquationsForLife: Meet the @Bergthalerlab! The #SIRModel helps them study disease transmission. One of their key research areas focuses on understanding how chronic infections can trigger #cachexia, a systemic wasting condition in chronic diseases. 🔎 https://t.co/c5NXYMg3aU

#Tenuretrack professorship in #immunometabolism #immunology at @MedUni_Wien in beautiful #Vienna. 🙏 for RT Application deadline: July 31 2025 See link for details. #academic #Job #tenure #professor #TopResearchVienna #Austria #JobOpening #JobAlert https://t.co/WNJgTCo9r2

Today, @Nature Senior Editor Zoltan Fehervari visited #CeMM for a seminar and discussion, hosted by Adjunct PI A. Bergthaler (@Bergthalerlab) & @MedUni_Wien . Thank you for the insightful session on #SciencePublishing & valuable advice for early-career researchers! 🔬 📝

For research, times have become more difficult in many places. In #Vienna, the conditions have steadily improved. We are convinced that this trend will continue, and will do our part to contribute. We enjoy living & conducting research in Vienna! #IEnjoyResearchInVienna #Austria

It was great to host @LabListon @Cambridge_Uni with us for scientific discussions, a great guest seminar on Tregs in tissues, as well as an inspiring workshop about positive research culture. More on the latter @LinkedIn . 🙏

🙏 @WWTF & the jury for funding. Our team looks much forward to working with many stakeholders incl @Stadt_Wien @aidshilfewien Dachverband der österr. Sozialversicherungen (SV) @goeg_at @IVIHeadquarters Österr. Gesundheitskasse (ÖGK) @FEANTSA @DiakonieAmber @EuropeanCancer. 8/8

What do we pledge? We leverage academic and practical knowledge with lived experience of all involved participants to deliver a policy blueprint supported by cutting-edge scientific & societal results. Follow us for more! Official project start & project website: March `25. 7/n

@DiakonieAmber is the biggest healthcare provider for people without #HealthInsurance in Austria where vaccine uptake, disease awareness, and #cancer #prevention are particularly important. Also: people without insurance are often excluded from existing datasets. 6/n

What do we bring to the table? Experts in transdisciplinarity and pathogen evolution (@OrsolyaRMolnar @bethanydearlove), social science & medicine (@LisLehner @GrabovacIgor), epidemiological modelling & simulation (@niki_popper) work with patients served by @DiakonieAmber. 5/n

A complex challenge requires a diverse team of experts to work closely with patients from marginalised groups. Our project #HPVienna integrates all stakeholders into a groundbreaking #transdisciplinary framework delivering #genomic, #social, #modelling and #societal outcomes. 4/n

There are many HPV genotypes, and different types carry different cancer risks. #Vaccines covering up to 9 types are available, however #access and #uptake has historically been restricted by age, gender and geography. Tracking HPV types is important to understand impact. 3/n

#HPV associated diseases are a large #PublicHealth issue: as the most prevalent #STI 80% of people will get infected over their lifetime. Most cases clear within 2 years, but 10% of infections persist and may cause #cervicalcancer, #headandneckcancer or other #cancer types. 2/n

We’re thrilled to announce #HPVienna, the transdisciplinary surveillance of Human Papillomavirus with vulnerable communities, will be funded by @WWTF. @bergthalerlab @LisLehner @popper_simlab @GrabovacGroup @tu_wien @univienna @MedUni_Wien 1/n https://t.co/Z2rMFVGCkI

We will keep this X account. Still, we look forward to seeing you also on the other side. #Bluesky https://t.co/Ws4M8oCPYz

Eventually, such surveillance systems may provide cost-effective insights for disease prevention and inform public health policies to allocate limited resources in the most effective way. 3/3 #PublicHealth #GlobalHealth #TeamWork

To this end, researchers from the institutes met in Lambaréné (Gabon 🇬🇦) to sample waste- and surface-waters. Samples were examined for rotavirus A, a leading cause of severe diarrhea. In Africa, #diarrhea remains among the most common causes of death, especially in children. 2/n

The @Bergthaler_Lab from @MedUni_Wien together with the #CERMEL and @IWR_Water explored in an Africa-UniNet @OeAD_worldwide project, how wastewater-based epidemiology (#WBE) may help to mitigate infectious diseases in tropical, semi-urban African settings. #OneWater 1/n
