Short bio
After graduation from Medical University Vienna, Austria, Dr. Bischof underwent residency training in Obstetrics and Gynecology in Vienna and Bergen. In 2014, she enrolled the postgraduate PhD program at the Centre for Cancer Biomarkers at University of Bergen.
Her research background covers translational research in ovarian and endometrial cancer as well as preclinical model development. In 2019, she joined the department of Gynecologic Oncology at the Norwegian Radium Hospital where she is working as a consultant under ESGO certified training.
Besides her clinical activity, she is engaged in clinical studies and committed to biomedical research. She is a member of ENYGO, ESGO, NSGO, Norwegian Medical Association and Oesterreichische Aerztekammer.
