Research Highlights
Center for Quantum Science & Technologies established at the Foundation for Research and Technology-Hellas (FORTH-QuTech)
The vision for FORTH-QuTech is to become a national & international point of reference in quantum science and technologies. This will be achieved by ensuring continuous development of science, technology, expertise, & human capital, attracting high-quality scientific personnel & significant funding.
FORTH attracts new funding from the European Research Council
Two ERC Starting Grants totaling approximately 3 million euros, were awarded to Dr. Anna Sydorenko and Dr. Konstantina Kalfa, post-doctoral researchers at the Institute for Mediterranean Studies of the Foundation for Research and Technology-Hellas (FORTH).
International scientific collaboration reveals how intermittent fasting regulates ageing through autophagy
Recent research at the Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (IMBB) of the Foundation for Research and Technology-Hellas (FORTH), at the Paris Cité University, and at the University of Graz, published today in the premier international science periodical Nature Cell Biology, sheds light on the mechanism through which spermidine regulates autophagy, a process that ensures the recycling of components within the cell, to promote the anti-ageing effects of intermittent fasting.
New study uncovers a link between reproduction and a key mitochondrial stress response
Research at the Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (IMBB) of FORTH and at the University of Cologne, published in the premier international science periodical Cell Reports, reveals that germline reproductive signals impact the ability of somatic tissues to induce the mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt).
Professor Nektarios Tavernarakis is honored with the Bodossaki Excellence Award for his outstanding contribution to Biomedical Sciences
Professor Nektarios Tavernarakis stood out among a large number of extremely high-caliber Greek scientists from Universities and Research Centers, worldwide.
FORTH researchers identify the 18 World War II executed civilians of Adele, Rethymnon
A pioneering, national-level study, was conducted by the research group of Paleogenomics and Evolutionary Genetics of the Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (IMBB) of the Foundation for Research and Technology-Hellas (FORTH).
Study in Nature Cities reveals: Disadvantaged people suffer particularly hard from heat stress in major European cities
A new study led by the Technical University of Berlin, with the collaboration of FORTH and other European Universities and Research Centers, sheds light on the serious environmental injustice associated with heat stress in 14 major European cities.
A first glimpse at our Galaxy's magnetic field in 3D
Thanks to new sophisticated techniques and state-of-the-art facilities, Astronomy has entered a new era in which the depth of the sky can finally be accessed.
Of bantam brains and fancy footwork: bioinformatics tools help reveal complexity of avian evolution
In 2014 the Science journal featured an article on the bird tree of life, mentioning the essential role of algorithms and supercomputers that enable modern research in evolutionary biology for all types of living beings. Now, a decade and a giant leap in tool development later, part of the team that coordinated the computer analyses at that time co-authored another paper in Nature on the complexity of avian evolution.
Greek researchers from FORTH, NKUA and Harvard University reveal a new mechanism that regulates intestinal stem cells
In an article published recently at the high-impact journal Nature Communications, researchers from NKUA, FORTH-IMBB, and Harvard University, led by Prof. Aristides Eliopoulos of NKUA and postdoctoral researcher Dr. Zoe Veneti of FORTH-IMBB, reveal a new mechanism that regulates the proliferation and differentiation of intestinal stem cells.
