One evening in the lab, beyond the constant hum of incubators and refrigerators, we heard another noise. Someone was crying softly.

Peeking around the corner, we saw Lily, a Master’s student from another group standing next to the microscope, wiping tears from her cheeks.

“Hey Lily, are you okay? What happened?”

Startled she turned around and started sobbing 😭.

“My experiment. I have to start all over again.” Still sobbing, she pointed to a stack of plates next […]

Highly reactive, highly toxic, and yet we wouldn’t survive more than three minutes without it. #Oxygen, the fuel of our cells and tissues ⛽.

Our ambivalent relationship began 2.2 billion years ago when we had to bring a foreign organism on board 👽. Pre-eukaryotic cells opened the doors to an ancient bacterium and internally outsourced energy production using oxygen. #Endosymbiosis! What an evolutionary masterstroke 👑! The kick-start of opportunities. #Biodiversity exploded after the event of endosymbiosis 💥🦖🐡🦓🌴🦄💥.

But at a high price. Cells had […]

According to the guidance of the #OECD, newcomers to the cell culture laboratory should undergo extensive one-on-one training until they are able to perform their work on their own, without depending on the trainer. 👍😇

This is, however, a huge #challenge for all life science universities. In fact, very often they cannot maintain this standard. But from students it is duly expected that they know how to work according to […]

Two days of discussing cells with people who work with cells and love cells.
✨ Of course ✨, we enjoyed the ÖGMBT – Austrian Association of Molecular Life Sciences and Biotechnology #AdvancedCellCultureWorkshop2025 at Univeristy of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU), Vienna!

🌸 lablife.video was very well received 👍

🌸 the goodie bags were quickly gone 🛍

🌸 but the Cell Culture Survival Kit was even more popular 😁

🌸 and the lablife presentation struck a […]

👉👉👉 for the Advanced Cell Culture Workshop 2025 by ÖGMBT!

Apart from sweets 🍬, you will find stickers and the freshly printed lablife Cell Culture Survival Kit ⛺ in your goodie bag! 👈😁👍

Can’t wait to present at the #AdvancedCellCultureWorkshop2025 at #BOKU Vienna hosted by  ÖGMBT – Austrian Association of Molecular Life Sciences and Biotechnology – Working Group Cell Based Assays, Therapies and Products! 😊

Here, the evolving landscapes of cell culture, advancing technologies and future prospects in cell […]

Christian Doppler, an Austrian mathematician, physicist and astronomer was born in this house in Salzburg. 👉🏡

He is said to have once said: “The most rewarding research is that which not only pleases the thinker, but also benefits humanity.” 🤗❤️

Christian Doppler had no idea how much this would prove true for his own research! He discovered that the frequency of waves shift when the position of the source and the receiver changes. 💫

Almost everything in our modern lives is in […]
