A new interdisciplinary PhD programme

Physics and biology unite to study separation

A new phenomenon has taken the world of cell biology by storm, but its study requires people with a deep understanding of physics and biology. The University of Vienna offers a new PhD programme to nurse a new generation of researchers with the ability to think creatively in both fields.

Cell researcher Sascha Martens and his team

Sascha Martens and his team are investigating the mysterious degradation pathways in our cells. In this video, the biochemists from the University of Vienna reveal what keeps them going – despite failures and being borne away: Team spirit, the passion for a topic and their common goal of making a difference.

The hidden patterns our world is made of

Without understanding "invisible" structures, we will never be able to gain full understanding. Mathematician Sara Merino Aceituno from the University of Vienna examines cell-based phenomena leading to cancer formation, the collective movement of spermatozoa and its link to fertility and tissue formation.
