Research interests

Prof. Erika Jensen-Jarolim, MD, immunologist, is appointed to the interuniversity Messerli Research Institut, Vienna, Austria. Her academic research is dedicated to immunological mechanisms underlying hypersensitivity or tolerance to antigens, and to improve therapy of allergy. In daily patient care she practices molecular allergy diagnosis.
