Bradl, Monika
Monika Bradl is associated Professor at the Center for Brain Research (Medical University Vienna, Austria (http://cbr.meduniwien.ac.at/)). Her research interests include the autoimmune mechanisms and cellular and pathological processes involved in neuroimmunological diseases, especially neuromyelitis optica. She obtained a degree in Biology at the Julius-Maximilians-University Würzburg (Germany) in 1986, a PhD in Biology (Dr. rer. nat.) in 1989, and then went to Philadelphia (USA) for a post-doctoral fellowship at the Fox Chase Cancer Center. After her return to Germany in 1992, she was a group leader at the Max-Planck-Institute for Neurobiology in Martinsried in the Department Neuroimmunology. In 2002, she obtained [...]
Jagodic, Maja
Professor of Neuroinflammation Department of Clinical Neuroscience Center for Molecular Medicine Karolinska Institutet Stockholm, Sweden Website: https://ki.se/en/people/majjag Maja Jagodic completed her MSc degree at the University of Belgrade, Serbia in Molecular Biology and Physiology specializing in Experimental Medicine in 1999. She then moved to Sweden, where she obtained her PhD degree at the Karolinska Institutet studying genetic predisposition to autoimmune diseases in model organisms in 2004. After thesis defence, she spent a year at the Karolinska Institutet gaining skills in human genetics. Already towards the end of her PhD thesis, Maja became fascinated by the field of epigenetics. Epigenetic mechanisms [...]
