The Institute of Pharmacology's mission is to explore new pharmacological approaches to combat pro-inflammatory diseases, allergies, asthma and leukemia. We study the transport of ions across cell membranes and between organelles using an innovative approach that combines cell and molecular biological methods with electrophysiological and ultrastructural techniques. When it comes to immune responses, we aim to better understand the importance and regulation of cation channels.

Biophysics Austria Conference 2024
Anna Madlmayr and Philip Steiner successfully represented the institute with scientific contributions at the Biophysics Austria Conference 2024 in Salzburg. The conference offered an exciting interdisciplinary exchange and valuable new scientific perspectives.
Thesis Defense
We offer our congratulation to Julia Eder on the successful defense of her Masters thesis"Investigations into TRPM7 blockade in human T cells". Julia studied pharmacy at the PMU Salzburg. As part of the master's program, she completed her research module at our institute, supervised by Birgit Karner-Höger.
Opening ceremony of the Vienna One Building
Philip Steiner was invited to speak at the opening ceremony of the Vienna One Building by Leica Microsystems & Danaher, which took place on June 12, 2024 in Vienna. On behalf of our institute, he spoke about visionary prospects and future collaborations in the field of correlative biomedical microscopy techniques. We are delighted about this recognition and the opportunities that have and will arise from it.
Pharmacology at KSD 2024
The Institute of Pharmacology was prominently represented at this year's Kepler Science Day 2024 with three outstanding scientific contributions. The variety of the presented research reflects the broad spectrum of the institute's work.
