Congratulations to Giulio Superti-Furga, CeMM´s Scientific Director, Miriam Unterlass, Technical University of Vienna, and Stefan Kubicek, CeMM for winning one of the WWTF 2017 Life Science Grants on Chemical Biology. In the project called “3C - Cellular color chart” the research team aims to generate new fluorescent molecules that probe intracellular processes with a full molecular understanding of their biological specificity.

This proposal is made possible by the existing expertise and infrastructure of the project partners. The laboratories of Giulio Superti-Furga and Stefan Kubicek, especially the Platform Austria for Chemical Biology at CeMM, have extensive experience in the handling of compound libraries and phenotypic screening using automated high-content microscopy. And Miriam Unterlass is an expert in chemical synthesis and provides knowledge and infrastructure for the efficient generation of analogs of the fluorescent molecules identified from chemical screening. CeMM is looking forward in entering this research collaboration with a member from the Technical University of Vienna.
