Denise Teber, PhD profile page

Dr. Denise Teber is the scientific expert for molecular biology at Charles River Laboratories, Erkrath, Germany. Her day-to-day responsibilities include the establishment of new qPCR and ddPCR assays for the detection of pathogens or process-related biological impurities, as well as method validation of platform assays or client-specific requests.
She is a biological scientist by training and obtained her master’s degree at the University of Cologne. During an external master thesis at the German Aerospace Center (DLR), she investigated the influence of ionizing radiation on cell cycle progression to predict its harmful impact on astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS).
During her PhD and post-doctoral work at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Biomedicine in Münster, she used lentiviral and adenoviral vectors to induce putative mutations causing venous malformations in isolated primary mouse endothelial cells and analyzed their effects by qPCR, co-immunoprecipitation and western blot as well as intravital microscopy.
