Clarissa Campbell studied biology at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (2010) and obtained a masters in immunopharmacology at the Oswaldo Cruz foundation in Brazil (2011). In 2012, she joined the Immunology and Microbial Pathogenesis Program (IMP) at Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences (USA). After obtaining her PhD in 2019, Clarissa was a postdoctoral research fellow in the Alexander Rudensky lab until 2021, when she started as an independent group leader at CeMM. Her group employs gnotobiotic mouse models, engineered bacterial strains, metabolic interventions and experimental infection to investigate the effects of metabolites on intestinal T-cell function.

Thomas KRAUSGRUBER, PhD
Principal Investigator
Institut für Artificial Intelligence, Medical University of Vienna
phone: +431 40160 36323
e-mail: thomas.krausgruber@meduniwien.ac.at
Thomas Krausgruber studied genetics and received his PhD in molecular immunology, focusing on macrophage biology, from Imperial College London (UK) in 2011. He performed his first postdoc training in the group of Fiona Powrie at the Translational Gastroenterology Unit, John Radcliffe Hospital, University of Ox-ford, UK (2012-2015) addressing fundamental and disease-relevant questions of T-cell adaptation to local environments using animal models. For his second postdoc studies he joined Christoph Bock’s laboratory at the CeMM Research Center for Molecular Medicine of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, Austria (2015-2022) complementing his immunological background with high-throughput biology and genomics/epigenomics/transcriptomics technology. His research focuses on immune regulation in non-immune, structural cells and on the systemic interplay of structural cells with the hematopoietic system. Since 2022 he is a principal investigator and junior group leader at the Medical University of Vienna.
Our team - Postdocs, PhD students and Research Technicians
We have established an international SFB research team encompassing approx. 40 members from 17 nations. Team members listed below are directly financed by the SFB, while adjunct SFB members in part contribute to the SFB projects and participate in many SFB activities, thus increasing critical mass. The SFB has also been serving as a platform for PhD thesis projects and several PhD students are currently supported by the SFB or contribute to SFB projects.
