Dr. Inken Waltl, DVM, is a veterinarian by training. After finishing her studies at the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover (TiHo), she pursued a scientific career and did her PhD at the Institute for Pharmacology at the TiHo where she investigated the role of immune cells in the development of acute seizures and epilepsy upon viral central nervous system (CNS) infection. When she joined TWINCORE in 2019 in the group of Prof. Kalinke, she soon took over the veterinary care of laboratory animals at TWINCORE, became deputy animal welfare officer and eventually became head of the laboratory animal facility of TWINCORE in 2024.
Besides these responsible tasks, her research focus is the impact of viral infections on neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s disease (PD). In her research projects she aims for the elucidation of underlying pathomechanisms, treatment options and prevention of neurodegeneration and neurodegenerative diseases in the context of viral infections.
