Your personal sphere of play:

Your future workplace is situated at the Faculty of Life Sciences at the Universitätszentrum Althanstraße (UZA II) where research groups work in the pharmaceutical sciences, nutritional sciences and biology. Research in our workgroup “Systems Biology of Pain” is driven by our motivation to decipher the dynamics of protein networks and host-microbiome interactions underlying vertebrate pain. Methodologically, we combine molecular biology, biochemistry, pharmacology, preclinical mouse models and latest (meta)proteomics techniques. This multidisciplinary approach has enabled us to investigate spatiotemporal proteome dynamics relevant for pain both in mice and humans. Our research lives from our fruitful collaborations with basic researchers, bioinformaticians and clinicians alike facilitating forward and reverse translation of our research results. Importantly, our research highly benefits from innovative methodological expertise and collaboration with the newly established University Vienna – Bruker Center of Excellence for Metaproteomics.
