Prof. Kleinbongard was also honored with the Vladimir Jakovljevic Award for Excellence in Cardiovascular Sciences. Dr. Chantal Eickelmann, postdoctoral researcher in the research group of Prof. Kleinbongard, received the Robert Bolli Young Investigator Award.
Congratulations on this great achievement!
Welcome to Prof. Dr. Mona Malek Mohammadi
We are very pleased to welcome Prof. Dr. Mona Malek Mohammadi as a new W1 junior professor at the CardioScienceLabs at the Department of Cardiology and Vascular Medicine.
With a focus on translational immunocardiology, her research investigates the molecular and cellular processes that follow the reperfusion of an occluded coronary artery, with particular emphasis on the complex interplay between cardiomyocytes, vascular cells, and immune cells.
We are delighted about this valuable addition to our research environment and look forward to the new perspectives and scientific impulses. We wish her all the best and a successful start here in Essen.
