... werden bei den acib Science Days von 10. bis 12. September 2013 im RESOWI-Zentrum präsentiert

Bei den acib Science Days 2013 gibt es von 10. bis 12. September an der Universität Graz Einblicke in die enormen Möglichkeiten der modernen Biotechnologie. In 28 Vorträgen und 2 Postersessions dreht sich alles um fortschrittliche, umweltfreundliche, ökonomische Methoden und Produkte, die unser Leben erleichtern werden.

 

Ob neue Testverfahren für moderne Medikamente, umweltfreundliche Produktionsmethoden für die chemische Industrie, Alternativen zu Kunststoffen auf Erdölbasis oder neue Zugänge zu alternativen Treibstoffen: Die moderne Biotechnologie kennt Antworten auf viele drängende Probleme unserer Tage.

Die Schwerpunkte der Science Days des Austrian Centre of Industrial Biotechnology (acib):

Im Themenfeld „Mehr Nachhaltigkeit durch Oberflächen-Biotechnologie“ geht es etwa darum, wie man Wundverbände so behandeln kann, dass sich Infektionen schnell erkennen und direkt bekämpfen lassen. Im Bereich „Biokatalyse für eine biobasierende Ökonomie“ beschäftigen sich die acib-ForscherInnen mit Biotransformationen – Synthesemethoden, bei denen klassisch-chemische Reaktionen von Enzymen vollzogen werden, die umweltfreundlicher und viel spezifischer arbeiten.

„Stoffwechselmodellierung und Systembiologie“ decken beim acib die virtuelle Welt der Mikroorganismen ab. Per Computermodell bestimmen ForscherInnen, was in Zellen vor sich geht, die zum Beispiel in der Produktion von medizinischen Wirkstoffen zum Einsatz kommen und was passieren muss, damit die Produktion besser machbar ist. Und das alles, ohne lebende Zellen zu verwenden.

Wie man von einer bekannten Eiweißstruktur zu einer neuen Funktion kommt, berichten WissenschafterInnen im Schwerpunkt „Von der Struktur zur neuen Funktion“. Ist das neue Protein einmal gefunden und hergestellt, muss es gereinigt und konzentriert werden. Diesen Part behandelt der Themenblock „Materialien und Prozesse für die Bioproduktion“. Ein Höhepunkt der acib Science Days 2013 ist der Bereich „Zellen und Proteine für den Industriebedarf“, in dem das geballte Wissen rund um industrielle Herstellungsprozesse zur Sprache kommt.

 

Die Veranstaltung am ReSoWi-Zentrum in Graz ist für alle interessierten Gäste geöffnet; Vortrags- und Diskussionssprache ist Englisch.

Learning better: Can science experiments in group settings help children with autism?

How can pupils with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have positive learning experiences and improve their social skills? Researchers at the University of Graz are investigating how science experiments in group settings can contribute to this. Initial results from the project, which is funded by the Austrian Science Fund FWF, show that children react differently depending on the kind of neurodiversity, but that experimentation classes with the right setting definitely have potential. "Pupils with ASD can do more than is currently expected of them in many cases," says project leader Uwe Simon.

Sustainability Award 2024 for two projects of the University of Graz

How do major international conferences reduce their carbon footprint? And what can maths lessons contribute to education for sustainable development? Two questions that were answered at the University of Graz. The corresponding projects were awarded the Sustainability Award 2024 in silver on 26 November in Vienna. This award for Austria's universities and colleges is presented by the Ministry of Science and the Ministry of Climate Protection.

Bees under observation: University of Graz provides unprecedented insights into the hive

What is going on in the combs? How many eggs is the queen laying? How much honey is there? Autonomous robots and AI algorithms provide important data and high-resolution real-time images from inside a beehive. "As part of an international team, we have developed a game-changer technology for a new type of digitalised behavioural research," reports biologist Thomas Schmickl from the Artifical Life Lab at the University of Graz. The publication, which has just appeared as the cover story in the journal "Science Robotics", describes the wealth of information that can be obtained from this unique research facility.

Research for healthy aging: FWF funds Cluster of Excellence "MetAGE" with 18 million euros

Six researchers from the Field of Excellence "BioHealth" at the University of Graz, together with colleagues from the Medical Universities of Graz and Vienna, have acquired an FWF-funded "Cluster of Excellence". Now a newly formed center of excellence will be created under the leadership of the University of Graz. The aim is to gain a better understanding of healthy aging. The findings will flow directly into clinical research.
