Postdoctoral scholar
University Clinic of Gynaecology, Obstetrics and Gynaecological Endocrinology, Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria
In Prof. Makova’s lab Barbara was interested in the accurate measurement of rare mutations. Her project was focused on the inheritance of mitochondrial DNA; particularly, analysis of de novo mutations in the germ line, as well as the inheritance of low-level variants.
