PD Dr. Angela Berndt serves as a Working Group Leader at the Institute of Molecular Pathogenesis (IMP), Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut in Jena, Germany. She leads the Infection Immunology Group within the IMP's poultry research division and actively participates in the Veterinary Immunology Working Group of the Society for Immunology.

Her research focuses on immunological mechanisms in veterinary contexts, particularly molecular pathogenesis of infections in poultry systems. Her work bridges fundamental immunology with applied veterinary science, emphasizing host-pathogen interactions at molecular levels. Key methodologies include infection modeling and immunological profiling in avian species.

Dr. Berndt holds the academic rank of Privatdozent (PD), reflecting her habilitation (Dr. rer. nat. habil.) and qualification for university-level teaching. She maintains active scientific engagement through committee work and collaborative research within Germany's federal animal health research framework.
