David Hercher
PhDDavid Hercher’s studied Molecular Biology at the University of Vienna and finished his Dr. scient. Med at the Medical University of Vienna. His main research focus is the investigation of regenerative processes after injuries with special emphasis on the nervous system. His group works on the elucidation of modes of action of mechanical stimuli on nerve tissue as well as on improving outcomes after peripheral nerve injuries with segmental tissue loss. Furhtermore he works on non-viral gene therapy and novel imaging modalities and their application in the field of regenerative medicine.
