Senior Lecturer in Respiratory Medicine awarded the title of ‘Privatdozent’ (PD, Priv. Doz.) for Pneumology at the Paracelsus Medical University (PMU) in Salzburg Austria

Dr Haitchi has a long-standing collaboration with the University Hospital Salzburg Department for Pneumology and Paracelsus Medical University in Salzburg, Austria. As part of this collaboration, clinical samples from patients in Salzburg were shipped to Southampton and studied for expression of the asthma gene ADAM33. Dr Haitchi has co-supervised a respiratory specialist registrar, who is a PhD student at the PMU, here in the UK and in Austria.

Following this on-going collaboration and after his ’Habilitation’ Dr Hans Michael Haitchi was awarded the title of ‘Privatdozent’ (PD; Priv. Doz.) for Pneumology in a ceremony at the Paracelsus Medical University in Salzburg on the 29 of April 2014 (pictured).
