Johanna Schachtl-Rieß

PhD program Host "Response in Opportunistic Infections” (HOROS)

Division of Genetic Epidemiology, Mediecal University of Innsbruck, Schoepfstrasse 41, A-6020 Innsbruck

Hi!

My name is Johanna Schachtl-Rieß and I studied Molecular Medicine here at the Medical University of Innsbruck. Since April 2018 I am working in the laboratory of Prof. Florian Kronenberg at the Division for Genetic Epidemiology. During my PhD I aim to understand how reverse cholesterol transport and especially its initial step – cholesterol efflux from macrophages to HDL –  influence susceptibility to infections.

Hi!

My name is Valentina Sladky and I am working on my PhD project in Andreas Villunger's lab. I did my master’s degree in Biotechnology at the University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences (BOKU) in Vienna and moved back to Innsbruck in 2015 to join the MCBO graduate program. In my PhD project, I use mouse models to investigate the role of the protease caspase-2 in liver development and regeneration.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions!

Hi!

My name is Sebastian Peer and I am working at Gottfried Baier´s lab, studying molecular mechanisms in cancer with knockout mice. After studying Biology at the LFU Innsbruck and completing my master thesis on macrophages (also in the cell genetics lab), I am now focusing (since October 2014) as a PhD student on the role of T-cells in cancer. Since October 2015 I am also representing the PhD students in the senate of the MUI, so if you have any questions feel free to ask! :)

Marco Grasse

PhD program "Host Response in Opportunistic Infections"

Hello,

I studied Biology at the Humboldt University of Berlin and the Christian-Albrechts University of Kiel. Since 2014 I am a PhD student of the HOROS program. Within the scope of my PhD I aim to better understand the diphtheria-specific immune response across a broad range of ages, in men as well as in mice. 

Don't hesitate to contact me, if you have any questions regarding the HOROS PhD-program. (marco.grasse@uibk.ac.at)
