Research interests
My research background is molecular and cell biology, with focus on human trophoblast development and function. During my postdoctoral training at IST Austria I have focused on developing novel (super-resolution) light microscopy methods for living and fixed (brain) tissue.
Now I act as the head of the Core Facility Imaging and am happy to provide my expertise to researchers of the MedUni Vienna.
