ASCINA Austria / Alumni / Vienna
ASCINA Austria / Alumni / Vienna is a network that welcomes scientists of all disciplines, as well as future scientists who wish to be mobile and networked with already returned home, or willing to return, scientists. Our mission is to promote academic mobility, to provide information and share the personal experiences of ASCINAt:innen from abroad and domestic. We regularly organize round tables, lectures, writing articles and presenting ourselves in various events.
For more information you will receive e-mails when you register at ASCINA on the main page. We are looking forward to hearing from you!
We, that is Irene Maier, Nikolin Oberleitner & Denise Haslwanter alias alumni-austria@ascina.at.
Denise Haslwanter, Ph.D., an esteemed virologist, currently serves as a freelance Global Scientific Advisor at BioNTech SE. With an enduring fascination for viruses, Denise effectively employs clinical data to steer informed decisions in vaccine development. Her pivotal role encompasses advancing understanding of infectious diseases, providing support in clinical and regulatory dialogues, and delivering scientific training.
Originally from Tyrol, Denise began her academic journey at the University of Innsbruck for her Bachelor’s, and later pursued her Master’s at the University of Vienna. She immersed herself in the intricate realm of Virology during her Ph.D. studies at the Medical University of Vienna at the Center for Virology under the guidance of Dr. Karin Stiasny and Dr. Franz X Heinz. Her tenure as a Research Fellow at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, under the mentorship of Dr. Kartik Chandran, marked a significant phase in Denise’s career. Here, she achieved remarkable milestones in better understanding of viruses and vaccines. Spearheading projects related to yellow fever virus vaccine efficacy and various aspects of SARS-CoV-2 during the COVID-19 epidemic, Denise’s efforts culminated in multiple publications, a patent, and recognition through an award for her exceptional postdoctoral work.
Denise’s relocation to the US facilitated her membership in ASCINA, providing access to annual ARIT events and connections with fellow Austrians abroad. Her accomplishments were recognized with the prestigious Austrian Marshall Plan Foundation Poster Award. Now back in Austria, Denise eagerly anticipates contributing to ASCINA as an active participant.

Presentation Mobility Study Final Results
Academic Mobility Study presented on June 5th, 2014 US Embassy, Fulbright and ASCINA Vienna. We have tried to be a mouthpiece for the North American Austrian. Academics, but also for those who want over. The entire study is available at: ASCINA Mobility Study
Pioneering model in Germany: PRIME – Postdoctoral Researchers International Mobility Experience – is a new program of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), which aims to facilitate young researchers and scientists to return after a research stay abroad back to Germany. With PRIME the DAAD is breaking new ground in the promotion of international mobility of postdocs: Instead of a scholarship the scholarship holders will receive a place at a German university of their choice, where they continue their work after a one-year research stay abroad. Financed “PRIME” by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and the EU program COFUND (Marie Curie actions).
