Proteomics Approaches to Unravel Virus - Vertebrate Host Interactions

Dr. Gisa Gerold accomplished her graduate research at the Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology, Berlin, Germany, under the supervision of Arturo Zychlinsky. She pursued her postdoctoral work in the laboratory of Virology and Infectious Diseases of Charles M. Rice at The Rockefeller University, New York, NY. Currently, she is a professor for Molecular and Clinical Infection Research at the Institute for Biochemistry at the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover, Germany. She further holds a Guest Associate Professor position at the Department of Clinical Microbiology and the Wallenberg Center for Molecular Medicine at Umea University, Sweden. Her joint German and Swedish research team focuses on elucidating pathogenic RNA virus infection from a proteomics perspective. With a particular focus on emerging zoonotic viruses and their interplay with the host cell at the protein level, her goal is to unravel mechanisms of pathogenesis, host and tissue tropism determinants and key points of therapeutic intervention. By integrating proteomics techniques with cell biology, virology and big data science she strives to bridge the gap between virus and host genetics and a mechanistic understanding of virus infection in order to develop rapid response measures against newly emerging pathogens. Dr. Gerold received the Otto Hahn Medal of the Max Planck Society and the Robert Koch Society postdoctoral award in Virology. She is a member of the advisory board of the German Society for Virology (GfV).
