Dr. Diana Lenhard

I manage the life cycle research to support our contrast media portfolio. The focus of my present work is to identify the mechanisms of how allergic and pseudo-allergic reactions occur after the intravenous application of contrast media and to identify the development of contrast-induced nephropathy. This includes planning, coordination, execution and interpretation of preclinical animal studies and in-vitro studies.
