Seitzer Ulrike

Prof. Ulrike Seitzer received her Diploma in Biology from the Georg-August-University Göttingen, 1987, Germany; 1995 PhD Graduation at the University of Lübeck, Germany and 2006 apl. Professor for immunology and cell biology at the University of Lübeck, Germany. Dr. Seitzer has a long experience with the immunology and molecular biology of different diseases among them infectious diseases. She has published more than 45 papers in different journals. She has an enormous technical and scientific knowledge in immunology, molecular biology, protein chemistry and clinical investigations. Currently she is senior scientist at the Division of Veterinary Infectiology and Immunology and leading a research group in charge of establishing molecular tools for pathogen detection and differentiation.
