Dr. Barbara Schraml

Biography

Barbara Schraml is a Professor at the Institute of Immunology at the Biomedical Center of Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU Munich), with a focus on dendritic cell development and function. Her research aims to understand the precise organ-specific roles that dendritic cells play in immune responses and tissue homeostasis, especially in how they sense pathogens and damage to initiate the body's defense mechanisms. Utilizing a range of methods that include multiplex flow cytometry and microscopy, she conducts both in vitro and in vivo functional analysis of dendritic cells. Additionally, her research encompasses gene expression analyses at both the bulk population and single-cell levels, providing deeper insights into the complex interactions between dendritic cells and their local tissue environments.
