I am a biochemist and Head of Research and Development at Das Kinderwunsch Institut Schenk GmbH in Dobl, Austria. My work focuses on advancing scientific knowledge and improving clinical outcomes in the field of reproductive medicine. My research interests include trophoblast invasion, early embryonic development, and embryo morphokinetics, with a particular emphasis on understanding the biological mechanisms that underpin successful implantation and pregnancy. I am also interested in the role of the microbiome in reproductive health and its potential impact on fertility outcomes. In addition, my work explores innovations in assisted reproductive technologies (ART), aiming to optimize laboratory and clinical protocols through evidence-based approaches. I am committed to integrating biochemical research with clinical practice to support the development of more effective, personalized fertility treatments. Through interdisciplinary collaboration and the application of emerging technologies, I strive to contribute to scientific progress and to improve patient care in reproductive medicine.
