     I have spent many years as an Associate Professor, Deputy Head of the Clinical Department of Nuclear Medicine, and Head of the Therapy Unit and Follow-Up Outpatient Clinic at the University Hospital AKH Vienna. My expertise covers the full spectrum of nuclear medicine, with a particular focus on treating patients with thyroid diseases, as well as neuroendocrine tumors (NET) and prostate cancer.

     Following my medical studies at Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich, I completed my specialist training at the University Hospital Großhadern in Munich, where, starting in 2009, I served as Senior Physician in charge of the Thyroid Outpatient Clinic and the Therapy Unit. 

     In 2013, I joined the University Hospital AKH Vienna as Deputy Head of the Clinical Department of Nuclear Medicine. Leading two of the largest nuclear medicine therapy units in Europe, I developed extensive expertise in managing rare and complex diseases. Together with my team, I introduced the innovative 177Lu-PSMA therapy for patients with advanced prostate cancer in Vienna. 

     Additionally, I served as Head of the Christian Doppler Laboratory for Applied Metabolomics, Chairman of the Congress Committee of the Austrian Society for Nuclear Medicine and Theranostics, and a member of the working group "Radionuclides in Nuclear Therapy" within the Radiation Protection Commission of the Federal Office for Radiation Protection. As an author, I have published over 140 scientific articles in international journals and delivered more than 100 presentations at national and international conferences. My work has been recognized with numerous awards, including the European Medical Award for Nuclear Medicine in 2022.

     In my private practice, I dedicate ample time to providing comprehensive and personalized care, always grounded in the latest scientific research.
