Ursula Windberger is associated professor at the Medical University Vienna, and currently senior researcher at the Center for Anatomy and Cell Biology (see Scopus AU-ID 7003917168; ORCID: 0000-0002-5800-9089). Her educational background includes veterinary medicine (doctoral degree in 1987) and chemistry (bachelor degree in 2012). Her main expertise lies in the rheology of blood suspensions and blood clots. A number of animal species were investigated in a comparative approach not only to provide datasets for animal species, but also to clarify whether statements considered valid for human blood are also acceptable for blood in general. She also has experience with the rheology of other materials such as synovia, biological hydrogels and composite epoxy resins (see www.rheology.at). Board memberships exist in related societies (ESCHM, ESR, ÖGR) and journals (Biophysica, Clin. Hemorheol. Microcirc.). Her former work included studies on large animals with focus on hemodynamics (habilitation thesis), as well as animal house management (13 years head of a university mouse house with several wildtype and genetically modified mouse strains; member of the ethical committee for animal experiments), and QA work (21 CFR Pt.58). In 2022, she founded the Austrian Society of Rheology (ÖGR, see www.rheo.at), which is a new platform to promote rheology in Austria and abroad.
