From Nature to Bionic Proteins through Computer Simulations - Each melody is unique per se, but all of them are composed by the same set of building blocks: the 7 notes, just played in different order. The melodies of Nature are proteins, where different 1D sequences of the same set of building blocks (the amino-acids) drive them to fold automatically into different and unique 3D structures. Computational studies can be used to understand the key ingredients that make this process possible, and apply the same ingredients for designing new artificial materials that are able to self-assemble into specific chosen structures.

Drugging Cancer - Cancer is the second leading cause of mortality worldwide. Approximately 1 in 3 people will develop some form of cancer in their lifetime. The number of new incidents and the death toll can be overwhelming. There is however an unprecedented mobilisation, on a global scale to tackle the disease and develop improved, life-saving therapies. At the University of Vienna a research team is developing a novel class of small molecule STAT3 inhibitors, with the potential to be used as standalone anticancer agents, or in combination with existing treatments, to enhance their effects and reverse the often acquired resistance to chemotherapy. 

AUSSDA - Von Daten umringt - AUSSDA - The Austrian Social Science Data Archive sammelt, archiviert und macht sozialwissenschaftliche Daten zugänglich. So können die Daten, die uns umgeben, nicht nur von Forschenden, sondern von allen Interessierten genutzt werden. An drei Standorten in Österreich (Wien, Linz und Graz) bietet AUSSDA persönliche Beratung und nutzerfreundliche Lösungen an.
