Sabine currently leads the new in vitro Discovery Home of DARe (Disease of Aging and Regenerative Medicine) at Novartis Biomedical Research in Basel, Switzerland. The team of mainly cell and molecular biologist supports DARe's mission by elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying the hallmarks of aging, establishing complex in vitro models and screening assays to enable early drug discovery in this field.
Sabine joined Novartis in 2001 as...
