Life

After finishing high school, Mannhalter began studying biotechnology at the University of Vienna in 1966 , which she completed in 1974 with a diploma thesis on the subject of poly- [alpha] -L-glutamic acid as a substrate for the investigation of proteolytic enzymes . From 1974 to 1977 she studied for a doctorate, and in her dissertation she deals with studies on the prothrombin complex . In October 1977 she went to the University of Southern California Medical School as a postdoctoral fellow . She then worked as a research assistant at the University of Vienna, and in 1985 she completed her habilitation in clinical chemistry. In 1990 she became an associate professor and since 2000 she has been professor of molecular diagnostics at the Medical University of Vienna.

From 2010 she acted as Vice President of the Austrian Science Fund FWF .

On September 1, 2016, she took over the chairmanship of the Genom Austria project , a Citizen Science project of the Research Center for Molecular Medicine of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and the Medical University of Vienna.

Her main research interests are the coagulation system , the diagnosis of blood diseases such as hemophilia and leukemia, and genetic factors influencing vascular diseases such as stroke or venous thrombosis . She has published over 270 original papers.
