Scientia Professor Katharina Gaus is an acknowledged authority in the fields of cellular immunology and molecular microscopy. Her work has not only completely overturned our understanding of T cell activation, but we can now image and map signalling molecules in T cell synapses with nanometre precision. Her frequently world-first research achievements are matched by her profile both nationally and internationally, with many esteem measures to her name including receipt of the prestigious Gottschalk Medal of the Australian Academy of Science.
