Das liegt (ihnen) im Blut It’s in their blood Ohne Laborbefunde keine medizinische Diagnose: Biomedizinische Analytiker*innen sind unverzichtbar für das Gesundheitssystem. Sie decken das gesamte Spektrum der medizinischen Labordiagnostik ab. Vor allem während der Pandemie ist ihr Know-how gefragter denn je.

No laboratory results means no medical diagnosis: Biomedical scientists are indispensable for the health system. They cover the entire spectrum of medical laboratory diagnostics. Especially with the pandemic, their know-how is more in demand than ever.

Absolventin unterstützte Grazer Covid-19-­ Studie

Graduate supported Covid-19 study in Graz

Menschen mit der Blutgruppe O erkranken seltener an Covid-19, das bestätigte eine Studie der Medizinischen Universität Graz. Mit dabei im Forscher*innen-Team war Maria Bemelmans, Absolventin im Masterlehrgang Biomedizinische Analytik der FH Campus Wien. Sie plante gerade ihr Masterarbeitsprojekt, als sie das Angebot bekam, bei der Covid-19-Studie zum Einfluss von Blutgruppen auf das Erkrankungsrisiko mitzuarbeiten.

People with the blood type O are less likely to get Covid-19, this was confirmed by a study of the Medical University of Graz. Maria Bemelmans, a graduate of the Master’s Course Biomedical Science at FH Campus Wien, was part of the research team. She was planning her master’s thesis project when she received the offer to work on the Covid-19 study on the influence of blood types on the risk of disease.

Masterarbeit als Sprungbrett in die Forschung

Master’s thesis as a stepping stone into research

Maria Bemelmans unterstützte mit ihrer Expertise die Forscher*innen der Medizinischen Universität Graz bei der Methodenvalidierung. „Ich habe die DNA-Isolierungen aus den SARS-CoV-2-positiven Rachenabstrichen, PCR-Tests und Sequenzierungen durchgeführt, um so Analysen in humaner DNA zu ermöglichen, und beteiligte mich bei der Auswertung der Sequenzen und dem Datenmanagement“, beschreibt die damals noch Studierende ihre Tätigkeiten. Mit Erfolg, denn zusätzlich zu einer hervorragenden Masterarbeit erhielt Maria Bemelmans eine Anstellung in der Forschungsgruppe der Universitätsklinik für Blutgruppenserologie und Transfusionsmedizin.

Maria Bemelmans applied her expertise to support the researchers at the Medical University of Graz with the method validation. “I isolated the DNA from the SARS-CoV-2 positive throat swabs and performed PCRs and sequencing in order to enable analysis in human DNA. I also participated in the evaluation of the sequences and the data management,” says the student describing her activities. She did an outstanding job, because in addition to an excellent master’s thesis, Maria Bemelmans was offered a position in the research group of the University Clinic for Blood Group Serology and Transfusion Medicine.
