The DC MatureTissue programme is based on a network of researchers at UASTW and TUW, who either have been collaborating for a number of years or have recently started a collaboration. Importantly, strong common goals have been identified among all faculty members in the area of maturation of in vitro tissue models, which emerge from different interests and aspects. The doc.funds.connect is hence a perfect platform to provide a foundation for these joint interests on the basis of the DC MatureTissue, and is expected to bring the involved groups closer together solidify the collaborations and strengthen the consortium on the national or European level.

Dr. Anna Weihs
Dr. Anna Weihs did her master studies „Biomedical Engineering Sciences“ at the University of
Applied Sciences Technikum Wien, which was followed by her PhD studies at the Medical
University in Vienna. In 2011 she was invited for a research stay in the group of Prof. Junger at
the Harvard Mecial School/BIDMC in Boston. Dr. Weihs is a Senior Scientist/Lecturer at the
Department of Life Science Engineering at UASTW. Her research focuses on reveiling cellular
signaling and mechanotransduction mechanisms involved in extracorporeal shockwave
treatment and in tissue engineering approaches.
