I obtained my Master´s in Genetics at the Paris-Lodron University of Salzburg. During this time I did my diploma thesis at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics in Berlin where I worked on the generation of a mouse mutant library
using chemical mutagenesis in the group of Dr. Heinz Himmelbauer. In
2003 I relocated to Vienna where I started my doctoral thesis in Prof
Gasche's lab.
My
current research project is focused on the mechanism
of inflammation driven carcinogenesis upon ulcerative colitis and to
test chemopreventive drugs such as mesalazine in an in vitro co-culture
system using neutrophils and colon epithelial cancer cell lines.
Another aim is to investigate the molecular mechanisms which lead to
DNA methylation as a consequence of inflammation (e.g. CIMP).
Beside
working in the lab i am involved in different art-projects www.trockenmoos.com as well as the organization of two
chamber music festivals www.kmf-badischl.com & www.kmf-mariazell.com. Recently my project called "molecular code" got published in Science Magazine.
