Dr. Corina Madreiter-Sokolowski

Prof. Corina T. Madreiter-Sokolowski is an Associate Professor for "Molecular Aging" at the Medical University of Graz (Austria). Her main interest is the function of mitochondria in longevity. As a pharmacist searching for novel anti-aging strategies, she studies mitochondrial metabolism, calcium handling, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) homeostasis in age-related diseases. She has gained expert knowledge regarding in vitro aging models through a 2-year FWF-funded research stay at ETH Zurich (Switzerland). Her know-how about in vitro aging models has been acquired through a research stay in Paris (France), Innsbruck (Austria), and Stockholm (Sweden, funded by ERASMUS+ and EMBO). Based on all of these experiences, her research group at the Medical University of Graz applies cutting-edge technologies like fluorescence microscopy in cellular aging models and Caenorhabditis elegant to unveil novel anti-aging strategies.
