Meiosis, at the
heart of genetics
Meiosis is a developmental program that is indispensable for gamete formation
and sexual reproduction.

The 3rd SFB Meiosis Annual Retreat took place at ISTA, Klosterneuburg, on January 26, 2026.
The retreat marked the final annual meeting of the first SFB funding period and brought together trainees and researchers from all participating groups. Participants presented their latest research progress and engaged in lively scientific discussions. A highlight of the meeting was the participation of our newest SFB members, Simone Köhler (EMBL Heidelberg) and Frédéric Berger (GMI), as well as our new collaboration partner, Sven Klumpe (IMP/IMBA), who introduced their research to the SFB community and discussed potential future collaborations. All the participants are already looking forward to the upcoming retreats in the second funding period.
The SFB “Meiosis” has been extended for the next four years (2026–2030)!
We are pleased to announce that the FWF has approved the prolongation of the SFB Meiosis for an additional 4 years.
Meiosis is the key to heredity, fertility and commercial breeding.
Participants
Expanding on existing strengths
Austria hosts research groups with a long-standing interest in meiosis, chromosome dynamics, gametogenesis and evolution. Scientists in this SFB address scientific questions centered on different aspects of meiosis using a set of model systems and state-of-the-art technologies.
Bringing the idea to practice
All running projects require expertise that goes beyond that covered by each group. The joint know-how will enable the 9 participating groups to establish innovative approaches to explore challenging aspects of meiosis.
