CV CV I started my career as an animal keeper and mouse technician, next to my studies of veterinary medicine. My diploma thesis concerned the comparison of permanent vs. intermitted trio mating of C57BL/6J mice regarding influences on animal welfare at the Institute of Animal Welfare and Animal Husbandry at the Veterinary University of Vienna where I also conducted my dissertation related to animal welfare requirements of floor types in laboratory rabbit husbandry, while working as a designated veterinarian at the Center for Biomedical Research at the Medical University of Vienna. In 2020 I joined the Lab of Daniela Pollak as a postdoctoral researcher, where I investigated laboratory animal behavior as a response to different environmental conditions, especially housing systems and environmental enrichment, also in the context of mouse models of psychiatric disorders. Currently, I´m a guest scientist at the Animal Welfare Division, University of Bern to investigate the possibilities and chances of a Laboratory Animal Welfare Label to motivate scientists to invest in animal welfare measures beyond the legal requirements.
