Biography:

Dr. Kronsteiner-Dobramysl is a Senior Immunologist and Deputy Group Head in the lab of Prof. Susanna Dunachie at the University of Oxford with more than 13-years of experience in studying human immune responses to intracellular pathogens including B. pseudomallei and SARS-CoV-2. Her research focuses on understanding how immune competence changes throughout the life-course specifically in the context of underlying chronic inflammatory diseases. Her current work aims to identify targetable pathways responsible for increased susceptibility to infection and impaired immune functioning in the context of diabetes and ageing with a focus on the interplay between metabolism and function.
