Innsbruck, Tirol, Austria
My name is Aline Bernar, MSc and I am currently pursuing a PhD at the Department of Pediatrics I at the Medical University of Innsbruck, Austria. After completing my secondary education in my hometown Luxembourg with a diploma in natural science, I enrolled at the Leopold-Franzens-University Innsbruck, where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Biology in 2018. I continued my studies at the same university, obtaining a Master of Science in Microbiology in 2021.
Since then, I have been enrolled in the PhD-program Infection, Immunity and Transplantation at the Medical University of Innsbruck under the supervision of Assoc. Prof. Werner Streif, MD, in the Haemostaseological Research Laboratory. My research focuses on investigating low bone mineral density in patients with haemophilia A. My experiments primarily involve cell culture studies in which osteoblasts and osteoclasts, the two main bone cells, are exposed to different coagulation factors and cytokines.
I have had the honour of presenting my work at several international conferences, including poster presentations at the Annual Meeting of the Society of Thrombosis and Haemostasis Research (GTH Scientific Meeting) in Leipzig (2022) and Frankfurt (2023), Germany, and an oral presentation in Vienna (2024), Austria. Additionally, I am author of three publications in peer-reviewed international journals, including one as first author (Bernar et al., 2022. doi: 10.3390/ijms24010723).
