Dr. Martin Schepelmann (group Prof. Enikö Kallay) has been named Researcher of the Month of the Medical University of Vienna June 2023 for his work on the protein called “Calcium-Sensing Receptor”. Dr. Schepelmann and an international team of scientists have discovered a completely novel role for this protein in the regulation of calcium homeostasis via vascular smooth muscle cells [1].
