Iris Mühlbacher

Iris Mühlbacher is a Clinical Assistant Professor affiliated with the Department of Surgery at a University Clinic for Surgery. She specializes in surgical oncology, gastroenterology, and immunology, with a focus on clinical applications in gastrointestinal disorders, cancer research, and perioperative care. Her work integrates surgical techniques, endoscopic interventions, and immunological mechanisms to address conditions such as pancreatic pseudocysts, gastroesophageal junction cancers, and Helicobacter pylori-related pathologies.

Her research interests span surgical oncology innovations, endoscopic therapies, and the impact of body composition on cancer treatment outcomes. Notable contributions include studies on laparoscopic hemicolectomy complications, Helicobacter pylori-induced immune responses, and the use of novel endoscopic tools like Holmium lasers and electrocautery-enhanced stents.

Mühlbacher’s publications reflect a multidisciplinary approach, combining surgical case reports with translational research in immunology. Her work emphasizes clinical outcomes and the optimization of minimally invasive techniques in gastrointestinal surgery.
