“Engaging discussions, scientific feedback, and great workshops are only a few examples of what I got in return for belonging to such a great and collaborative environment as the SMICH community. Being part of it has really provided an additional value to my PhD experience.”

– Laura Santini (SMICH PhD student)

“The many interactions and training events within the SMICH program have empowered my students to find the right colleagues for advice and collaborations in their multi-disciplinary projects.”

SMICH – Signaling Mechanisms In Cellular Homeostasis

Multidisciplinary science and in-depth PhD training in the heart of Europe

Our Research

Interview with Manuela Baccarini

Our program’s Scientific Coordinator Manuela Baccarini is investigating the way our cells communicate with each other. A ’misunderstanding’ at the cellular level can lead to serious diseases, such as cancer.

About the Program

SMICH investigates how signalling mechanisms impact homeostasis and cell fate transitions in cell-free, cell-based, and organismal systems. We are part of the Vienna BioCenter PhD program, a larger multidisciplinary Graduate School of the University of Vienna and the Medical University of Vienna. We are the first graduate school in Austria to award a joint degree in Molecular Biosciences from both universities.

Cutting-edge Science

Challenging projects designed to obtain a mechanistic understanding of fundamental biological processes.

Research

Structured Curriculum

Structured training and scientific, administrative and social support.

Training

Stimulating Enviroment

The Vienna BioCenter - a vibrant science hub for more than 1800 scientists from 70 countries, with state-of-the-art facilities & an open scientific culture.

PhD Life

Research

To transition to a different fate, cells need to break homeostasis and implement radical changes in their expression pattern. We want to know how they do it.
