During her doctorate at the Institute for Parasitology at the University of Hohenheim , she also did research as a visiting scientist at the Chair of Molecular Parasitology at the Medical Faculty of the Free University of Brussels .
From 1995 to 2004 she carried out research at the Chair of Molecular Parasitology at the Humboldt University in Berlin , where she qualified as a professor in 2004 in the subject of parasitology . Following her habilitation, she became a group leader at the Chair of Molecular Parasitology. In that year she became DFG Heisenberg Professor for Infection Immunology in the Veterinary Medicine Department of the Free University of Berlin .
Since 2015 she has been Professor of Infection Immunology and Director of the Institute for Immunology at the Department of Veterinary Medicine at Freie Universität Berlin.
research
Hartmann deals with infections caused by parasitic worms ( nematodes ) in humans and animals. She works on the elucidation of the molecular mechanisms of host infections with parasitic worms and on the deciphering of the corresponding mechanisms of immune regulation .
She was able to show immunoregulatory processes between parasites and host immune cells and identify the parasite proteins responsible for them. She also investigates the potential of parasites and their regulatory products for the treatment of inflammatory processes.
Awards
- since 2018 member of the National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina .
- 2018 Innovation Prize from the Klee Family Foundation for the work "Treatment of inflammatory processes in the intestine by applying immunomodulatory proteins from parasitic worms"
- 2011–2016 DFG Heisenberg Professorship "Infection Immunology"
