Research Networks
Scientific collaboration is a major element and inevitable prerequisite for excellence in basic research. Our group leaders are therefore actively involved in local, national and international research networks.
National initiatives
Special Research Programs SFBs
One example are Special Research Programs (SFBs) funded by the Austrian Science Fund FWF. SFBs are peer-reviewed, highly interactive research networks, enabling long-term, interndisciplinary co-operation of local research groups on the frontiers of their thematic areas. Currently, MFPL researchers participate in three SFBs, two of which are hosted by the MFPL.
RNA regulation of the transcriptome | Chromosome Dynamics | Jak-Stat Signaling
Doctoral Programs
The MFPL house three Doctoral Programs with a specific research focus, reviewed and funded by the Austrian Science Fund FWF.
Molecular Mechanisms of Cell Signaling | RNA Biology | Structure and Interaction of Biological Macromolecules
Laura Bassi Centre of Excellence
Another collaborative research project co-ordinated by the MFPL is the Center for Optimized Structural Studies (COSS), funded by the Laura Bassi funding program of the Austrian Research Promotion Agency FFG.
COSS - Center for Optimized Structural Studies
International cooperation and networks
Many of our groups participate in collaborative research programs or networks with scientists all over Europe and beyond.
- EURASNET - European Alternative Splicing Network funded by the 6th Framework Programme
- Growth-Stop - Collaborative Research Project "GROWTHSTOP" (6th Framework Programme)
- MeioSys - Collaborative Research Project "Systematic Analysis of Factors Controlling Meiotic Recombination in Higher Plants" (7th Framework Programme)
- Infla-Care - Collaborative research project "Inflammation and Cancer Research in Europe" (7th Framework Programme)
- MUZIC - Marie-Curie Initial Training Network "Muscle Z-Disc Protein Complexes"
- COSI - Marie-Curie Initial Training Network "Chloroplast Signals"
