Dr. Wolf worked 2 years as a postdoctoral research associate at the Dept. of Physics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, one of the top ten universities for physics in the USA, with frequency domain near infrared spectroscopy and 4 months as Visiting Scientist at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory at Tallahassee, Florida, USA.
Within the Swiss Governmental (Swiss Federal Office of Public Health / Social Security) Program “EvaluationComplementary Medicine” she was responsible for compiling several Health Technology Assessments.
Since June 2009 Dr. Wolf holds a faculty position as lecturer and Co-Director at the Institute of ComplementaryMedicine KIKOM at the University of Bern. Her professional activities at the university include research, teaching and patient care. Prior to this appointment she worked at the KIKOM as senior physician and senior research associate. Her research aim is investigating complementary medicine with quantitative state-of-the-art methods. The focus of her research is clinical research (effectiveness and safety of medication and non-medication therapies), investigating effects of complementary medicine methods on physiological parameters by means of standard methods, research on physical properties of ultra-high dilutions with ultraviolet-spectroscopy, development of methodology and studies on mistletoe and quality of life in cancer patients.
