Biography

Dr. Judith M. Rollinger is a full professor in Pharmacognosy & Pharmaceutical Biology and Head of Phytochemistry & Biodiscovery Lab at the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Faculty of Life Sciences, University of Vienna, Austria. The Lab is using interdisciplinary approaches to identify, analyze, and purify multi-component mixtures from plant, fungal, or marine sources focusing on the characterization of their bioactive secondary metabolites. The major scientific interests include:

  • unravelling nature’s complexity to seek for novel drug leads from nature by using integrated chemoinformatic and chemometric approaches
  • discovery of bioactive compounds from medicinal plants of ethnopharmacological sources by means of in silico techniques (molecular modelling, virtual screening) and phenotypic screenings using the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans.
  • research on bioactive metabolites from diverse natural sources with special emphasis on natural leads against inflammatory processes, metabolic syndrome, and viral infections/influenza and potential cardiotoxic compounds in commonly consumed botanicals.

Professor Rollinger used to be a Member of Board Directors of the Society of Medicinal Plants and Natural Product Research (GA), Associate Editor of Frontiers in Pharmacology, Speciality Ethnopharmacology, Editor of Planta Medica, Vice President of the Society of Medicinal Plants and Natural Product Research (GA), Senator of the University of Vienna, and President of the Society of Medicinal Plants and Natural Product Research (GA).
