Johannes Holle MD

Johannes Holle finished Medical School in 2011 at the Ulm University Medical Center, where he subsequently started his residency at the Department of Pediatrics. He carried out his MD thesis about the characterization of mesenchymal stem cells, isolated from acinus cells of the salivary gland (Prof. Dr. Nicole Rotter). In 2015, he moved to Berlin to track his specialization in pediatric nephrology at the Charité University Hospital, accompanied by a clinical fellowship in pediatric intensive care medicine from 2017 – 2019. As a physician-scientist, he joined the newly created group of Nicola Wilck at the ECRC (https://www.mdc-berlin.de/de/wilck, MDC Berlin), which provides an inspiring and interdisciplinary environment with extensive knowledge about microbiota-immune crosstalk for young researchers. Within his post-doctoral fellowship, he focuses on the development of new microbiota-centered treatments to improve the cardiovascular outcome of children and adults with chronic kidney disease.
