Katharina Sophie Mair has recently compelted her diploma thesis "One Health – A systematic literature review on the role of honeybees in environmental research". It was carried out in the framework of the TecEUS project under the supervision of Daniela Haluza and the co-supervision of Johanna Irrgeher and is thus the product of the collaboration between the Medical University Vienna and the Montanauniversität Leoben. The design of this work was a systematic literature review, aiming to gain insight into the current use of the bee genus Apis mellifera and its hive products in environmental research. Their application to date, their reliability and potential limiting factors were summarized and discussed to provide a foundation for future research in this field. Currently, she works at the General Hospital of  Vienna, Department of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine of the Medical University Vienna.
