The Institute of Biological Chemistry is part of the Faculty of Chemistry at the University of Vienna with strong links to the Centre for Physiology and Pharmacology of the Medical University of Vienna, the Max F. Perutz Laboratories with their focus on Molecular and Structural Biology, and the Institute of Food Chemistry and Toxicology. It is supported by state-of-the-art core facilities, including MS, NMR, X-ray, nanostructures, and multimodal imaging. Together, this forms an outstanding environment for research at the interface of synthetic chemistry, molecular biology, pharmacology and medicine.
The Faculty of Chemistry is one of the largest postgraduate training centres in Austria and its highly-intellectual and well-equipped environment is complemented by strong career development programs of the University of Vienna. Its young and diverse faculty offers a vibrant and innovative environment for young researchers from around the world starting at the level of PhD students and postdocs towards junior group leaders that want to establish their own research line.
