Research group(s)

• Christian Doppler Laboratory for Skin Multimodal Imaging of Aging and Senescence - SKINMAGINE
  Head: Florian Gruber
  Research Area: We investigate how environmental stress, pollution and time lead to accumulation of senescent cells in the skin and how these contribute to skin aging. Our focus lies on the SASP, the metabolism and the quality control of aging cells.

Research interests

My research is focussed on the role of bioactive lipid mediators in skin biology. We investigate the generation, the biochemistry and the signaling of lipid mediators in basic and translational research projects.
