Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology
Interim Director // Priv.-Doz.in Silvia Dossena Ph.D.
We use interdisciplinary approaches that include modern methods of electrophysiology, molecular biology, protein biochemistry and confocal imaging to study the role of ubiquitin ligases and cellular oxidative stress in the context of various diseases ranging from hearing loss to epilepsy. In addition, we screen and characterize gene mutations in patients with hereditary hearing loss in collaboration with the Department of Otolaryngology of Salzburg General Hospital (SALK).
Our institute provides a state-of-the-art research infrastructure with modern lab space and research equipment to host an international team of research scientists and staff.
The Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology of Paracelsus Medical University is committed to excellence in teaching and training of medical and pharmacy students. We offer dedicated pharmacology teaching, ranging from lectures and award-winning e-learning tools to lab internships, bachelor, master or PhD theses.
