🎉 Congratulations to Anais Elewaut, recent PhD graduate from the lab of Anna Obenauf, who won the Egon Macher Award for her research on how cancer evades the immune system! Her work, published in the journal Nature, was honoured for its contributions to understanding how tumours escape immune responses. Elewaut and co-author Guillem Estivill discovered the crucial role of a type of immune cell—inflammatory monocytes—in reactivating cancer-killing T cells within tumours, following an initial activation in the lymph nodes. The findings make monocytes a promising target to boost immunotherapies, potentially benefitting patients affected by a range of cancers, including melanoma, lung, pancreatic, and colorectal cancer. ➡️ Full story: https://lnkd.in/deJAVHws ➡️ Read the paper here: https://lnkd.in/gKQcsY86 Vienna BioCenter, Vienna BioCenter PhD Program

Cryogenic Electron Microscopy (cryo-EM) has revolutionised structural biology by providing high-resolution images of biological processes at the near-atomic level. However, challenges like limited viewing angles, radiation damage, and shot noise make accurate particle identification difficult and labour-intensive. To address these limitations, David Haselbach at the IMP with Pavol Harar at the University of Vienna, developed ‘FakET’. The new method creates ‘fake’ electron microscopy images to train Artificial Intelligence, reducing manual work in particle identification. Their findings are published in the journal Structure. 🎥 Watch our video about the story: https://lnkd.in/dhs4uBKP ➡️ Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/dyzB-Zkk ➡️ Paper: https://lnkd.in/dhdqS9vd Vienna BioCenter, University of Vienna, Institute of Science and Technology Austria #cryoem #microscopy #AI #artificialintelligence
