Katrin Schönborn, PhD profile page

Katrin is an accomplished biologist with longstanding experience in the field of medical research. During her academic career at the University Hospital of Cologne, Germany, she investigated the mechanisms involved in physiological healing of the skin after injury and autoimmune diseases that alter the extracellular matrix in the skin through excessive inflammation, such as scleroderma. Throughout her studies, she combined various imaging and omics-based technologies, such as transcriptomics and proteomics to investigate tissue architecture and cellular composition, enabling her to uncover the underlying biological processes involved in skin pathologies. In 2023, she joined the Spatial Biology team, where she harnesses her knowledge to support researchers in the adaptation of Miltenyi Biotec’s Spatial Biology technologies for various applications from basic research and development to clinical science.
