Anna Carolina Pousas Navarro
M.D.

After more than 10 years working as an MD in hospitals and treating people, she decided to further direct her career towards the field of personalized medicine, and she selected the master's program in Biomarkers in Molecular Medicine in Sweden as the most fitting to her intentions to crystallize her expertise in this field. In 2023 she received an Erasmus scholarship to finish her studies at the Department of Pathophysiology and Allergy Research at the Medical University of Vienna, where she is conducting her Master's thesis in the
transcriptomic analyses of B cells in patients with Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID). She is very interested in precision medicine and in helping the development of a more personalized and preventive approach to patients based on their own genetic/epigenetic signatures.

Sebastian Kern
B.Sc.

A Medical and Pharmaceutical Biotechnology student from the IMC University of Applied Sciences Krems, who is doing the work for his Bachelor Thesis at the Department for Pathophysiology and Allergy research (Medical University Vienna). The project is about functionally characterising a recently discovered subpopulation of memory B cells in-vitro. These cells are thought to play an important role in allergic responses.

Shirin Pour Akaber
M.Sc.

Did her Master Thesis with us, in collaboration with Andreas Tilevik at University of Skövde in 2019, on RNA sequence analysis of naïve and CD27bright memory B cells in patients with Common Variable Immune Deficiency (CVID). She then continued on a fellowship with us working on the same dataset. She is currently working as a Senior Scientist at the Medical University of Vienna.

Currently a PhD student at ISTA (Institute of Science and Technology Austria).

Ralph Monte
M.Sc.

PhD student in postmortem metabolomics at Linköping University (Sweden) and MSc in Systems Biology. Previously, Junior Lecturer in Data Science at Tilburg University (The Netherlands).

During Ralph's Master's degree project with us, he used different NGS pipelines to analyze imunnoglobulin sequencing data from memory B cells in pregnant women during and after pregnancy. The aim was to see how these memory B cells change over time in pregnancy and after pregnancy.

Ahmed Mohamed
M.Sc.

Did his Master Thesis with us, in collaboration with Andreas Tilevik at University of Skövde in 2019, on the cellular ontogeny of the unmutated and mutated subsets of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL). He then continued on a fellowship with us working on the analysis of immunoglobulin light chain sequence analysis in naïve and CD27bright memory B-cells in Common Variable Immune Deficiency (CVID). He also carried on with his thesis project on CLL to validate the results.

Chiara Farroni
Ph.D.

Did her Post doc with us in 2018. She obtained her PhD in the lab of Dr. Rita Carsetti where Ola also did his second Post doc. She was working on immunolgobulin light chain sequence analysis in patients with Common Variable Immune Deficiency (CVID). This paper is now submitted for publication. She is now working with Dr. Delia Goletti, Rome, Italy.
