Ludwig Boltzmann Institute Lung Vascular Research

CONNECT - Join in the research!

We are looking for patients, relatives, carers, physiotherapists and doctors who would like to participate directly in research on pulmonary fibrosis, liver cirrhosis, heart and kidney failure or scleroderma. Watch the short videos on the latest scientific findings on fibrosis on our website and share your experiences with us. CONNECT (connect-medunigraz.at)

On 15 October 2021, the start of the new PhD programme "Immune Modulation in Respiratory Diseases" (RESPImmun) was celebrated at a kick-off event. Thirteen international students started their PhD studies in October and will significantly advance the field of lung research under the guidance of their supervisors (from MeduniGraz and the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Lung Vascular Research).

From 16 to 17 September 2021, the annual retreat of the LBI LVR took place at the Gartenhotel Ochensberger in Sankt Ruprecht an der Raab, Styria, taking into account the officially prescribed COVID 19 regulations. Our young colleagues presented their current projects and results. Afterwards, stimulating discussions took place among the participants.On a joint hike around Sankt Ruprecht an der Raab, these discussions could be deepened even after the end of the seminar. © LBI LVR

DDr. Philipp Douschan received the first prize for his work "Clinical relevance of mildly elevated pulmonary arterial pressure". Congratulations!

POSTDOC research opportunity

The Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Lung Vascular Research in Graz, Austria, focusses on delineating molecular pathways leading to lung vascular diseases associated with chronic lung disorders by combining a broad range of molecular biological methods on diseased human samples and preclinical animal models (https://lvr.lbg.ac.at).
