Max Birnstiel Foundation
The Max Birnstiel Foundation was established in 2017 in honour of Max Birnstiel, who was a pioneer of molecular biology, an inspiring mentor of young scientists and the founding director of the Research Institute of Molecular Pathology (IMP) at the Vienna BioCenter (VBC). The Max Birnstiel Foundation sponsors the Vienna BioCenter Summer School and International Birnstiel Awards for doctoral research in molecular life sciences.
In 2018, Mila gave the Foundation an unrestricted grant to support these activities.
