Principal Investigator @ Medical University of Vienna | Research at the interface of glycobiology and breast & gynecological cancers

Vienna, Austria
So thrilled to receive this grant, which allows me to push my #glycotime projects forward! Rolling up my sleeves and getting to work – there is still so much to be uncovered. Huge shout-out 🙏 to my brilliant & kind reviewers, wherever you are, and to @FWF_at for funding! ♦️
Stefan Mereiter, postdoc and member of the @penningerlab, was awarded the ESPRIT grant for the next three years. In this time, he will continue his research on glycosylation interference in breast cancer. We wish him success. @FWF_at @SMereiter #CancerResearch

6. In the autochthonous MPA/DMBA model, a model of luminal B breast cancer, removing sialylation from the equation broke the cancer's hardwired resistance to immunotherapy. To our knowledge, that's unprecedented in this model.

Overall, removing sialylation from mammary epithelium was well tolerated, yet it rendered breast cancer cells vulnerable to immunotherapy. A compelling therapeutic window and a strong rationale for targeting tumor hypersialylation in breast cancer.

Feeling honored to work in a lab with two (!) of 2024’s most cited scientists: mentor Josef Penninger🧠and lab colleague Max Kellner 📚 (@clarivate). Max (spot him sitting behind me in yesterday’s lab meeting) is a PhD student 🤯 @penningerlab

A team from @BOKUvienna, #MedUniVienna & @IMBA_Vienna presented a scalable method that provides insights into #glycobiology. The aim was to investigate structural differences in glycan chains in various organs & to determine their extent. ➡ bit.ly/48TSQFI @NatureComms
Wie einzigartig sind Glykane in den Organen eines Säugetiers? Ein Team der BOKU (@JohStadlmann), @MedUni_Wien, @IMBA_Vienna & @UMich zeigt: Jedes Gewebe hat eigene Glykosylierungsmuster, spezielle Glykane nur im Gehirn: short.boku.ac.at/p94g8p & doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-5…

1/ Did you know? Glycans—complex sugar structures—decorate almost every protein processed by the ER/Golgi. These N-glycans coat our cells, playing critical roles in cell interactions and immune processes. 🍬 Curious about how they vary? Let’s dive in!
