Focus: Research in the Cardiac Immunobiology group focusses on the cellular and molecular interplay between the immune and cardiovascular system. Our research investigates the role of the immune system in maintaining heart health and the acute and chronic immune response following injury to the heart, such as after a heart attack or myocarditis. Our goal is to target the immune system for new therapeutic options in cardiology, e.g. to better predict, treat and possibly prevent the development of heart failure
Network: Our group is located at the Division of Pharmacology of the Otto Loewi Research Center and the Division of Cardiology. Our interdisciplinary research relies on close collaborations with local Medical University Graz research teams and national and international collaboration partners. International collaborations with ongoing joint projects exist with the Jackson Laboratories, US, and Imperial College London, UK.
