Elena Pohl

Elena Pohl is a Professor at the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna leading the Working Group in Physiology and Biophysics. Her research focuses on membrane proteins, particularly mitochondrial proteins, and their roles in health and disease.

• Research Highlights: Regulation of uncoupling proteins (UCPs) in stem cells, impact of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) on membrane function, and applications in preventing cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and neurodegeneration.
• Methods: Electrophysiological measurements, recombinant protein production, two-photon microscopy, fluorescence correlation spectroscopy, and fluorescence lifetime imaging.

This work aligns with Vetmeduni’s profile line, bridging veterinary and human medicine through molecular mechanisms.
