Peter Lanzerstorfer

Peter Lanzerstorfer is a Research Professor at the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria, Campus Wels, affiliated with the Department of Medical Engineering and the Bioinformatics Center of Excellence. His research focuses on cell biology, fluorescence microscopy, signal transduction, and micropatterning techniques for studying protein interactions in live cells. He has led multiple interdisciplinary projects, including 'TC-BIOsens' (2022–2025) and 'StarPATT' (2014–2016), and has been recognized with awards like the FH OÖ Jungforscherpreis 2020 and Innovation Awards from FH Wels in 2016 and 2020. His work integrates biotechnology, material science, and biomedical engineering to develop novel assay systems and analyze cellular signaling mechanisms.

Key research areas include subcellular micropatterning, live cell imaging, and the application of phytogenic substances in nutrition and health. He collaborates internationally on topics like T cell receptor clustering and toxicological assessments of bioactive compounds. Over 70 publications highlight his contributions to bioengineering and cell biology, with recent work focusing on nanotools for immunological studies and automated microscopy analysis.
