Meet the Team

I hold an MBA degree of the University of Graz, Austria. At Scantox Neuro, I am responsible for Finance, Human Resources and Legal Affairs. My motto: When my company is doing well, I am doing well too.

I received my PhD in Biology at the University of Graz, Austria, characterizing a transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease. During the last 20+ years I held various positions within Scantox in Austria, among others I was Head of Animal Facility and Director of Quality Assurance, both for several years. Since 2022, I am heading the Neuropharmacology department – a job where I can combine my fascination for science and my desire to help people every day.

I am a biologist with a PhD in Neuroscience and Biochemistry from the University of Graz, Austria, and an MBA from the University of Minnesota and the Vienna University of Economics. After heading several departments, such as the in vitro and clinical department, I am now Head of Administration. I really enjoy ensuring perfect conditions for my colleagues’ research work. New interesting things every day – that is what working for our customers, science and Scantox have in common.

I studied media and communication in Koper, Slovenia. The acquired skills proved to be valuable at my current position at Scantox. On the one hand, I support our Business Development team in their daily tasks. On the other hand, I collaborate closely with our Marketing team and thus act as an interface between the two groups. With my work I can contribute to Custom tailored research every day, as the needs of not even two clients are the same.

I joined the Scantox team after completing my Master of Science in Microbiology at the University of Graz, Austria. I have gained extensive experience in various departments and labs at Scantox and have special expertise in rodent surgery and tissue sampling techniques. As a study director, I was responsible for client studies for several years. In 2016, I joined the business development team. I have a strong “can do” attitude and love working with people to find solutions to complex challenges.

I am a behavioral biologist by training and studied biology at the University of Graz, Austria. At Scantox I gained a lot of experience in establishment and improvement of behavioral tests and animal model characterization. Currently, I am Business Development Manager as well as Deputy Head of Study Coordination, and thus plan and coordinate preclinical in vivo projects for both R&D as well as client projects. As a passionate researcher I am always looking for new approaches and believe that one can always learn something new, every time and from everybody.

Science fascinates me in many ways, and thus I followed this passion by pursuing a PhD in neuroscience, where I concluded that biology could make a difference! Connecting with scientists around the world gives me hope every day that we, as humans, truly care about the lives of others. My daily responsibilities at Scantox as a Business Development Manager are to liaise with our clients, contracting with them and designing studies for exciting new projects that could one day represent an important step towards improving someone’s life, no matter how big or small that step might be!

I hold a PhD degree in Neuroscience from the Medical University of Graz, Austria. My PhD project was performed in collaboration with Scantox Neuro, and I had the opportunity to work in all departments of the company. Now I am Business Development Manager and responsible for managing all tasks that are required to initiate a study with us. With teamwork we can make the dream work to find a cure for neurodegenerative and rare diseases.

My passion lies in neuroscience with a focus on neurodegeneration, neurodevelopment, and mouse genetics. I have earned my PhD at the University of Basel, Switzerland, and spent several years as postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Zurich, Switzerland, as well as at Harvard Medical School, Boston, US, exploring how the brain is wired. My motivation in life is aptly mirrored in Nelson Mandela’s quote: “What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.”

I hold a PhD degree in Biology from the Karl-Franzens-University Graz, Austria. At Scantox Neuro, I am heading the In Vivo Research Department and as an expert in in vivo research, I am responsible for a smooth project realization. Science is the Poetry of Reality.

I studied biology, then specialized in neuroanatomy and left with a PhD in Neuroscience from the University of Bielefeld, Germany. As a postdoc I spent five years at the NIH in Bethesda, MD, adding molecular biology to my area of expertise. In 2010, I joined the histology department of Scantox. I have been enjoying over 25 years in brain anatomy and histology, and yet I learn something new every day – being a scientist really is a privilege!

I am a biochemist and behavioral physiologist by training with a PhD degree from the University of Graz, as well as an executive MBA from California Lutheran University. I joined Scantox in 2012 and, since then lead multiple customers as well as internal R&D projects. Today, I am responsible for managing the inspiring R&D team and projects as well as assisting the Head of Histology. Supporting the research community by assembling the puzzles of various neurodegenerative and rare diseases drives my passion every single day.

After studying Biotechnology, I decided to continue my education with a Master of Science in Industrial Pharmacy at the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, where I had the opportunity to work with laboratory animals. I continued working in this profession at Scantox up to my current position, where I am responsible for the animal facility team and animals. “Progress has little to do with speed, but much to do with direction.” – Unknown

I am a molecular biologist by training and hold a PhD degree from the University Vienna, Austria, as well as an executive MBA from California Lutheran University. At Scantox Neuro, I lead the study coordination team, and thus coordinate the preclinical project management. As a passionate scientist with strong business acumen, I have the patient in my heart, and our client’s success in my mind.

As Head of in vitro Research, my primary responsibility is to establish, optimize and standardize cell-based and cell-free assays together with an innovative and great team. Over the span of more than a decade, I got the opportunity to grow with Scantox, gaining experience by supporting numerous client studies and broadening my knowledge as a neuroscientist. My aim is to deliver the best possible drug testing platforms to our clients and to facilitate the discovery of innovative treatments that can make a meaningful impact on people’s lives.

As a devoted scientist, I was fortunate to receive my PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from the Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada. At the Research and Development Department of Scantox Neuro, I dedicate myself to the establishment of new methods and models, as well as refining existing processes, striving for efficiency and effectiveness. My credo is to never stop learning and a problem is just a solution in disguise, waiting to be discovered.

Following my undergraduate studies in Molecular Biology, I joined the Doctoral College Metabolic and Cardiovascular Disease (DK-MCD) and obtained my PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biomedicine from the University of Graz, Austria. As a Study Director at Scantox Neuro in Austria, I coordinate preclinical studies for our clients and ensure a smooth process from sample arrival to final report. I am passionate about science and enjoy working with people who try to make a difference.
