Dr. med. Christiane Gasperi
Academic Career and Research Areas
Dr. Christiane Gasperi studied Medicine at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) München as well as Bioinformatics (BSc) at the LMU and the Technical University Munich (TUM). Since 2014 she has been a member of Prof. Bernhard Hemmers research group. In 2019 she worked as a visiting researcher at Yale University. She completed her medical specialty training at the Department of Neurology at TUM in 2021 and heads a young investigator group funded by the German Ministry of Research and Education since July 2021.
Dr. Christiane Gasperi scientific interest is the identification of factors that influence the disease risk and the progression of neurological diseases with a focus on multiple sclerosis and to understand the underlying molecular mechanisms. Her main focus is the integration and analysis of multi-omics data sets including proteomic, genetic, epigenetic data as well as health care data. The goal of her highly collaborative research is to broaden the understanding of disease mechanisms and to find ways to predict the disease course which can ultimately affect treatment decisions.
