Eve Riethmacher started her career working on signal transduction during development using mouse models. During her time as a postdoc, she continued to work on mouse models this time analyzing neuronal development and repair. During this time Dr.Riethmacher was already involved in the supervision of diploma and Ph.D. students. During the last years, Dr.Riethmacher has been working on cancer development and progression as well as inflammatory processes. Since coming to Nazarbayev University she is heavily involved in the supervision of MD students and master students during their research. She has held grants as PI and co-PI on colon cancer as well as co-PI on a grant working on inflammatory bowel disease and a grant on bladder cancer. Eva Riethmacher is also the program director at NUSOM for the Ph.D. program in Biomedical Sciences.
