We are pleased to briefly share our experiences from the “Langen Nacht der Forschung” last Friday. With great enthusiasm, we observed that our booth attracted a significant number of visitors. Many curious individuals of all ages took the opportunity to discover our program and learn about basics cancer research. This allowed us to present our…

We are pleased to share insights from a compelling presentation by Prof. Ulrich Stelzl, of the Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Pharmaceutical Chemistry at the University of Graz. Ulrich provided insights into the creation of unique molecular interaction networks. Employing a combination of experimental techniques and computational methods, his work focuses on unraveling the impact…

Susan S. Taylor, a distinguished Professor of Chemistry, Biochemistry and Pharmacology at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) known for her pioneering contributions to the understanding of protein kinases, has maintained a longstanding collaboration with Eduard Stefan, the scientific head of the Tyrolean Cancer Research Institute/Tiroler Krebsforschungsinstituts (TKFI). This cooperation resulted in a captivating…

We are pleased to share news about a recently published TKFI paper by Jakob Fleischmann and his colleagues from the ONCOkinase lab. This study centers on refining cancer treatments through targeted kinase therapy, with a specific focus on melanoma, a type of skin cancer. The researchers employed an advanced reporter system to precisely track the…

Our inaugural TKFI miniSymposium and get-together, held on June 22, 2023, was executed smoothly, and we are pleased with a successful day. During the presentations, attended by approximately 70 people, Stefan Salcher and his team were honored with a Paper Award. Subsequently, the get-together provided an opportunity for lively exchange. We would like to express…

We, the TKFI, would like to introduce you to our new research group. The ONCOkinase lab from the Institute of Molecular Biology of the University of Innsbruck (https://www.uibk.ac.at/molbiol/research/oncokinase-lab/). ONCOkinase lab The goal of the ONCOkinase lab is to understand the molecular mechanisms of pathological proteins. On the one hand, the basic researchers investigate how melanoma…
