Spin-off
Illuminating the Undruggable: Empowering Drug Discovery
KinCon biolabs, a spin-off from the University of Innsbruck, is expanding its patented platform technology to support pharmaceutical companies in addressing medical challenges, particularly in the fields of cancer and Parkinson's disease. Recent funding from the FFG has enabled the launch of the R&D project “Seek & Destroy”, aimed at leveraging the company’s technology to advance the emerging field of targeted protein degradation.
Quantum physics
Quantum vortices confirm superfluidity in supersolid
Supersolids are a new form of quantum matter that has only recently been demonstrated. The state of matter can be produced artificially in ultracold, dipolar quantum gases. A team led by Innsbruck physicist Francesca Ferlaino has now demonstrated a missing hallmark of superfluidity, namely the existence of quantized vortices as system’s response to rotation. They have observed tiny quantum vortices in the supersolid, which also behave differently than previously assumed.
Ecology
The unknown climate factor from the permafrost
Ecologist Christina Biasi is exploring the conditions under which tiny organisms contribute to permafrost soils emitting nitrous oxide. Her research could be essential for the development of future climate scenarios.

Top Event
The climate crisis in the Alps
Event as part of the Sustainability Week („Woche der Nachhaltigkeit“): Together with Protect Our Winters, the university invites you to an exciting evening! Over popcorn and drinks, we would like to discuss together how the climate crisis is changing the Alps, the Andes and the Himalayas and what consequences this has for our glaciers, our winters and therefore also winter sports. You can look forward to short presentations by Dr Lindsey Nicholson and Nobel Prize winner Dr Renate Christ, films (Blue Sky Thinking by Martin Sieberer, Into the Ice by Rico Ibai and the short film by POW AT on the effects of the climate crisis on the mountain sports community) and lively discussions on this important topic. Event mostly in German.
