Markus Axmann

Markus Axmann is a researcher affiliated with Linz University of Applied Sciences, contributing to interdisciplinary fields including bioinformatics, food technology, and medical engineering. He is a core member of the Bioinformatics Center of Excellence and the Nano Structuring and Bio-Analytics (NASAN) group. His research focuses on lipoprotein particles, cholesterol metabolism, and biomedical applications of lipid systems. He has contributed to projects like TC-BIOsens (sensors for bioapplications), TC-Hyperchol (lipoprotein-cell receptor interactions), LiSSCeD (3D stem cell scaffolds), and BF-LipoShuttle (lipoprotein-based drug delivery).

Key research interests include single-molecule microscopy, HDL particle interactions, and lipid membrane dynamics. His work bridges nanotechnology, cell biology, and medical engineering. Recent studies explore lipid properties governing cargo transfer and cholesterol exchange mechanisms. He has collaborated internationally on cell receptor interactions and stem cell differentiation platforms.

Notable contributions include over 40 publications (as of 2024), with recent focus on HDL functionality and lipid engineering. His projects emphasize translational applications in diagnostics and therapy. Axmann also engages in live-cell imaging and preclinical imaging techniques for tissue engineering.
