The Institute for Physiology and Pathophysiology is located at the MedCampus I of the Johannes Kepler University of Linz. Our main research is dedicated to uncovering the pathophysiological mechanisms behind premature aging in metabolic and reno-cardiovascular diseases. Despite the significant global impact of these conditions in modern society, there is a lack of understanding and efficient treatments to alleviate the detrimental effects on life- and healthspan. This objective an urgent question of future medicine and serving as a mission for our Institute.

In pursuit of this goal, we employ a combination of state-of-the-art technologies, translational experimental models, and patient studies.
