bridges vol. 21, April 2009 / News from the Network: Austrian Researchers Abroad The OST network of Austrian scientists & scholars abroad was established by the Office of Science & Technology (OST) at the Austrian Embassy in Washington, DC, and focuses on the outreach of government-related agencies to Austrian scientists in North America. Its main objective has been to support the scientific community with information and specific advice wherever necessary and requested. Encouraged by the OST, an independent association - ASciNA (AustrianScientists and Scholars in North America) - was founded in 2002 with local chapters being established throughout the US and Canada.

As new president of the ASciNA network, uniting all Austrian scientists and scholars in North America, I gladly accepted the invitation from the bridges editors to introduce myself and provide a brief outline of what we would like to accomplish as ASciNA in the next few years. I have been affiliated with ASciNA since the famous ASciNA inauguration event at the Austrian Embassy in Washington, DC, in 2002. As an anesthesiologist at Washington University in St. Louis, I work with patients undergoing major surgery at our affiliated hospital and perform clinical and translational research in the field of pharmacogenomics and personalized medicine.
