General information
The Omics Center Graz bundles the expertise and existing infrastructure in genomics,
transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics/lipidomics, as well as bioinformatics and
administration of research centers in Graz. The center builds upon successful scientific
collaborations between three universities of Graz
(Medical University of Graz,
University of Graz and
University of Technology of Graz)
in the last years in large scale projects
(GENAU GOLD,
GENAU BIN,
SFB Lipotox,
DK-Molecular Enzymology,
DK-MCD,
EU Lipidomic Net,
ACIB,
RCPE etc.), and in the Lipidomic Research Center Graz, as referenced by numerous high ranking
publications, and was officially launched on June 5th, 2014, as a
BioTechMed initiative.
Since 2018 the center harbours the Bruker Center of Excellence for Life Science Mass Spectrometry
which aims at developing and improving proteomics, metabolomics and lipidomics workflows.
Special emphasis is put on bioinformatics
and measurement capacity, in order to perform more comprehensive omic studies and multi-
omic projects. Such organized strategies will facilitate the obtainment of sustainable
knowledge from the largest European Biobank which is located in Graz, as well as the
implementation of biomarker research in Graz. From this initiative highly profit next to
molecular biomedicine, particularly the strong lipid research network and research
competence centers with close connection to industry (e.g. ACIB, RCPE), and young
researchers finding training in state of the art high end technologies in Graz .
