Kristina Riegel

PhD Student

 

Kristina obtained her B.Sc in Biology at the Julius-Maximilian University of Würzburg and she completed her Master in Biochemistry at the University of Regensburg. Her Master thesis she did externally at Merz Pharmaceuticals. Since 2015 she started as a PhD student in the Research Group of Prof. Dr. Krishnaraj Rajalingam. During her PhD she will focus on the further characterization of the evolutionary conserved and multifunctional IAPs. Identified as inhibitors of effector caspases and thus of apoptosis it could recently be shown that IAPs provide a regulatory function in cell migration as well as cell differentiation, too. Her study will now conclude the further analysis of the regulatory roles of IAPs, especially concerning their anti- and pro-migratory properties.
