2024 SFB Meiosis Annual Retreat: A Resounding Success!
The 2nd SFB Meiosis Annual Retreat, held at Kartause Gaming, was a tremendous success, showcasing the remarkable scientific strides made over the past year. Trainees from all participating SFB labs had the opportunity to present their research through exciting talks and engaging poster sessions. The retreat featured a total of 13 talks and 19 posters, each highlighting exciting advances in the field. The level of enthusiasm and curiosity was remarkable, with discussions continuing long after the formal sessions had concluded—proof of the deep passion driving these scientific endeavors.
This year’s retreat was particularly special, as we had the honor of hosting Matthias Peter, full professor and current chair at the Institute of Biochemistry at ETH Zurich, since he spends a sabbatical in Joao Matos’s lab, Matthias gladly accepted our invitation and delivered an enlightening lecture on the regulation of cell growth and division.
In addition to the scientific sessions, participants enjoyed a refreshing hike through the beautiful surrounding area, which included the fun and unique experience of fishing beers from a traditional beer well. The crisp outdoor air only added to the lively atmosphere, fueling even more stimulating scientific discussions during the poster session.
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.
