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

Joao Matos receives grant from the Autrian Science Fund (FWF)!
Joao Matos has been awarded funding through the FWF’s 1000 Ideas Programme for his project “Do metabolic enzyme polymers preserve ageing oocytes?”.
The program supports innovative and unconventional research with high transformative potential that might challenge long-standing ideas in the field.
Congratulations Joao!!
Daniel Velikov receives the 2025 Max Perutz PhD Fellowship!
Daniel Velikov from the lab of Joao Matos received one of the two Max Perutz PhD fellowships awarded for 2025 for his project entitled: “Function and Dynamics of Metabolic Enzyme Polymers during Gametogenesis”. Congratulations Daniel!!
Sowmya S. Geetha defended her Ph.D. thesis successfully!
On 22nd of April 2025, Sowmya S. Geetha from the lab of Verena Jantsch successfully defended her Ph.D. entitled “ “Bloom helicase contributes to successful crossover formation with both catalytic and structural roles in C. elegans meiosis”.
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.
