Professor Klaus Osterrieder
 

  I came to Cornell in August of 2002 as Associate Professor of Virology within the Department of Microbiology and Immunology. My DVM degree is from Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich, Germany (1990), and I finished my dissertation in 1992 at the same university. Previously, I had been a group leader at the Institute of Molecular Biology, Friedrich-Loeffler-Institute for Animal Health in Insel Riems, Germany, where I had worked since 1997. Before going there, I held a position at the Institute for Medical Microbiology at the Veterinary Faculty of the Ludwig-Maximilians-University (1992-1997),where I was also awarded the 'Habilitation' in 1997. Our research program is currently supported by the NIH for work on varicella zoster virus (VZV) and development of equine herpesvirus type 1 (EHV-1) as an immunization vector, the USDA for our program on Marek's disease virus (MDV), and by the Morris Animal Foundation and the Harry M. Zweig Memorial Fund for pathogenesis work on EHV-1.
