Muriel and Tobiáš at the ‘Prime Your PhD’ course

28 Jan 2026

Our two new PhD students Muriel and Tobiáš joined the 2025/2026 Vienna BioCenter PhD cohort for a 3-week ‘Prime Your PhD (PyP)’ course, including lectures from VBC faculty, writing and presenting training as well as team building activities. Now being fully ‘primed’ and ready for anything their PhD will bring along, we are excited to have you back with us in the lab!

A warm welcome to all new PhD students on our campus!

Welcome to Tobiáš

A warm welcome to our new PhD student Tobiáš! For his Master’s studies in Petr Svoboda’s lab at the Charles University in Prague, Tobias contributed to developing slugs as new model organism in Petr’s lab. For his PhD, Tobias is ready to swap slugs for fish ;-) and will be joining Ida on the killifish team in the Pauli lab to uncover how diapause is regulated in these fascinating fish. Welcome on board!
