As a professor, she heads the research area “Experimental Dermatology and Immunobiology of the Skin” at the Department of Skin Diseases of the University Hospital Münster and is project manager in the “Cells in Motion” cluster of excellence . She specializes in immunology and inflammatory reactions of the skin and, with her team, conducts basic research to better understand the interactions between immune cells and other cells in the development of inflammatory or autoimmune diseases .

Career

Karin Loser was born in 1968 in Münster and graduated from the local university from 1989 to 1994, a biology degree with diploma. She then carried out research at the Institute for Molecular Biology , where she obtained her doctorate in 1998 with a molecular study of a pathogenic fungus compared to potatoes.

After completing her doctorate, she worked for a Leipzig plant protection company for a few months before starting postgraduate studies in 1999 at the Institute for Pharmacology and Toxicology at the University of Münster. In 2001 she moved to the local dermatology clinic as a research assistant, where she also became a project manager from 2006 and completed her habilitation in immunology at the end of 2007.
