Every year, the Tyrol Chamber of Commerce awards the research prize for outstanding dissertations as well as diploma and master’s theses to MCI students The Entrepreneurial School®, the University of Innsbruck and the FH Kufstein. The award recognizes work that stands out due to its high added value for society, its degree of innovation and its importance for the Tyrol business location.
This year could Regina Reiswiggraduate of the MCI Master’s program in Biotechnology, impressed with her excellent Master’s thesis. The implementation was carried out in collaboration with Novartis GmbH under the supervision of Dr. Anja Kristin Francois.
Regina Reiswig wrote her master’s thesis „Implementation and evaluation of a robust and sensitive method to analyze plasmid DNA isoforms with capillary gel electrophoresis” dedicated to the analysis of biotechnologically produced nucleic acids, especially plasmid DNA. These circular DNA molecules are the basis for innovative gene and cell therapies as well as mRNA vaccines, which play an important role in combating the COVID-19 epidemic, for example.
“In her work, Ms. Reiswig has developed a method with which one can distinguish between biologically different active forms of plasmid DNA that are created during plasmid production in bacterial cells. “In doing so, she made a significant contribution to the analysis and quality control of these important basic molecules for the production of pharmaceutical products, which promise the development of further revolutionary disease therapies and vaccines in the future.”explained Dr. Alexander TrockenbacherSenior Lecturer at the Department of Bio- & Food Technology and supervisor of the master’s thesis at the MCI.
