•   Bio-inspired chem­istry for inno­va­tive plant pro­tec­tion prod­ucts

  Thomas Magauer's research group has achieved a major breakthrough in natural product chemistry. Using a bio-inspired synthesis approach, the researchers have developed a new, efficient method for accessing highly effective natural lignans – molecules with great potential for plant protection and sustainable pest control.

•   A molec­u­lar foun­tain of youth for the brain

  What happens in the brain as we age? Might it be at all possible to rejuvenate nerve cells? Seeking answers to these questions, a research group led by Frank Edenhofer at the Department of Molecular Biology has succeeded for the first time in observing mini-brains age.

•   New mass spec­trom­e­ter for biomolec­u­lar research

  Researchers at the Department of Organic Chemistry and the Center for Molecular Biosciences (CMBI), led by Kathrin Breuker, have been awarded funding for a state-of-the-art mass spectrometer in a competitive FFG infrastructure call. The instrument will open up new possibilities for biomolecular research at the University of Innsbruck.
