Ingrid Fleming is the Director of the Institute for Vascular Signalling at Frankfurt University. She obtained her PhD from the Louis Pasteur University in Strasbourg and then pursued postdoctoral training at the Institute of Applied Physiology at the Albert-Ludwigs-University in Freiburg, Germany. Then she moved on as Senior Research Fellow in the Institute for Cardiovascular Physiology at the Goethe University Frankfurt before she started her own group in Frankfurt focusing on different forms of signal transduction in vascular cells.
