Life Science PhD Meeting
The Life Science PhD Meeting Innsbruck 2022 will take place from the 20th to the 22nd of April, 2022 in the Fritz-Pregl-Straße 3, Innsbruck.
Event features:
– 6 outstanding plenary speakers
– 30 short presentations selected from submitted abstracts
– a “ Animal-free Research – Cell Models and Organoids ” workshop
– short talk and poster prizes
– a smashing party
Poster format is A0 (or smaller) in portrait format.
Short talk duration is 12 min + 3 min discussion.
Flash talk duration is 2 min.
Please write to phd-school@i-med.ac.at if you have any questions.
You can register for the meeting here: http://www.meduni-ibk.at/page.cfm?vpath=anmeldung&veranstaltung_fk=194
After the registration you will receive a mail with the attached abstract submission form, if you are interested in a poster or short talk. Please beware that we have limited space for talks, so only the best abstracts will be granted a talk. If you are not selected for a talk, you will automatically get a poster or flashtalk slot. Send the abstract submission form to phd@i-med.ac.at

Animal-free Research – Cell Models and Organoids
Have you ever wondered, how your cells lining the respiratory tract and lung look like? Have you thought about their functions within the body and which cells do what? There are lot of fascinating things to do with human cell and tissue models, which might result in replacement of animal models also in pre-clinical research in the future. Therefore, it´s time to get active and move towards replacement by creating realistic model approaches for drug testing, infectious disease research and testing novel therapeutic options.
Keynote: ´The long and winding road from 2D to 3D culture to reduce and replace animal experimentation´
Meet Doris Wilflingseder, University Professor of Infection Biology and initiator of MUI animalFree Research Cluster
How does my respiratory system look like?
Learn about the markers used to characterize upper and lower respiratory tract and lung and stain these accordingly using fluorescently labeled antibodies. Analyse the stained samples by high content screening at the Institute of Hygiene and Medical Microbiology.
Networking and Question Time: Bring on your questions – we are here for you every step of the way!
The workshop is jointly organized by Univ.-Prof. Dr. Doris Wilflingseder, Institute of Hygiene and Medical Microbiology, Medical University of Innsbruck
