Deeply honored to be named a 2026 FSR Established Investigator by the Foundation for Sarcoidosis Research, together with Dr. Laura Koth @ucsfhealth.bsky.social , and early-career awardees Dr. Katie Bechman and Dr. Azar Kianzad.

🫀 Researchers at #MedUniVienna have identified the enzyme MMP12 as a new target for combating heart scarring in #CardiacSarcoidosis. The findings could pave the way for new treatments and improve the management of this often-underdiagnosed condition. Find out more! ⬇️ 📰 @atsblueeditor.bsky.social​

Cardiac sarcoidosis: MedUni Vienna identifies enzyme as a target for combating scarring of the heart

We are looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our team at the Medical University of Vienna. The translational project will investigate how metabolic programs regulate granuloma formation and disease progression in sarcoidosis.

A big chunk of my postdoctoral work on cell-state dependent metabolism is now out at @cp-molcell.bsky.social: www.cell.com/molecular-ce... 1/

Aspartate availability drives differential engagement of the malate-aspartate shuttle

Brunner et al. report that malate-aspartate shuttle engagement is cell-state dependent and can be modulated by the availability of the amino acid aspartate. In differentiated cells, malate-aspartate s...

Amitava Sinha & @weichhartlab.bsky.social from @preprintclub.bsky.social discuss a @biorxiv-immuno.bsky.social #preprint by Heieis et al. that identifies O-GlcNAcylation as a metabolic regulator of cell cycle, enabling macrophage tissue-residency and IL-4-driven alternative activation

Aging 🧓 alters metabolite levels, but not core metabolic fluxes! Impressive work from @sfb_immunomet postdoc Connor Jankowski (PhD thesis) just out in Cell Metabolism 👏 #Aging #Metabolism #Fluxomics 🔗 www.cell.com/cell-metabol...

Aged mice exhibit widespread metabolic changes but preserved major fluxes

Metabolic dysregulation is a hallmark of aging, but how metabolic pathway activity (flux) changes with age has yet to be broadly assessed. Here, Jankowski et al. measure metabolite concentrations and ...

Drs. José Carlos Alves Filho, Luciana Berod (@luberod.bsky.social), and Thomas Weichhart (@weichhartlab.bsky.social) are presenting their work on the metabolic regulation of immune responses at #IUIS2025! Check out the session at 1:45 pm in Hall E1.

Some big news: I’ve been awarded an ERC Advanced Grant to further explore the roles of #archaea in gut #microbiomes and beyond. @erc.europa.eu #ERCAdG #ARCHMETH #Microbiome #Archaea #sciencepassion

Neues aus der Mikrobiom-Forschung! Archaeen – kaum bekannte Mitbewohner in unserem Darm – senden winzige Bläschen, um mit ihrer Umwelt zu kommunizieren. Ein Team der Med Uni Graz hat das jetzt erstmals detailliert beschrieben. Veröffentlicht in Nature Communications ➡️ https://bit.ly/47gnl9R.

Paul Ettel, MD-PhD student in the lab has been awarded a prestigious Early Career Fellowship Grant from the Foundation for Sarcoidosis Research (FSR). FSR will support Paul’s research on the role of neutrophils and arginine metabolism in granuloma formation in sarcoidosis. Congratulations!

We are grateful to the Austrian Science Fund @fwf-at.bsky.social for receicing a new standalone grant to study metabolic signaling in sarcoidosis!

Amitava Sinha via the @preprintclub.bsky.social‬ wrote a nice Journal Club article on a preprint by from the Angelo lab @stanfordmedicine.bsky.social that describes spatial immunometabolic zonation in tuberculosis granulomas: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Ausgezeichnet für ihre Forschungen zum #Zellstoffwechsel 💯 Wir gratulieren Anne Miller, Zentrum für Pathobiochemie und #Genetik der #MedUniWien, zur Auszeichnung mit dem FWF-ASTRA-Preis! Mehr über ihre Arbeit erfahren ⬇️ @fwf-at.bsky.social​
