NEW 24.10.2025 Health & Bioresources AIT researcher Angela Sessitsch among the Top 3 at the Austria 25 Awards The biotechnologist was honored at the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology for her internationally recognized research on microbiomes and climate-resilient agriculture Angela Sessitsch, Head of the Center for Health & Bioresources at the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology, ranks among the Top 3 “Austrians of the Year” in the Research category. The renowned biotechnologist was honored as part of the Austria 25 Awards of the daily newspaper “Die Presse” for her outstanding contributions to microbiome research and its significance for sustainable, climate-resilient agriculture.Her research shows how microbially supported solutions—from seed treatment and crop protection to improved nutrient cycles—strengthen yield security, soil health, and resource efficiency in agriculture. In doing so, Sessitsch provides important answers to the challenges of climate change. 2439 Characters 1 Image
NEW 30.05.2025 Health & Bioresources AIT and wings4innovation identify potential target molecules for new therapies The development of effective and well-tolerated cancer therapies remains a major challenge. Experts from the Molecular Diagnostics Unit at the AIT Center for Health and Bioresources are identifying promising proteins that the immune system apparently recognises as "foreign" in colorectal cancer. These so-called tumour-associated antigens enable new approaches for therapeutic use. The cooperation with wings4innovation GmbH (w4i), the Austrian subsidiary of KHAN Technology Transfer Fund I GmbH & Co KG (KHAN-I), resulted in a particularly interesting first target, which now serves as the basis for the development of a specific therapeutic antibody. 2751 Characters 3 Images
