Research statement
My research and my interests in science lie within cell and molecular biology. I am passionate about cell cultures, microscopy and research. Here in EB Haus I am especially interested in pursuing the development of a therapy for EB patients, currently using gene editing technologies to repair EB-associated mutations in patient-derived cells.
Personal interests
I like to spend my free time with my family in nature and traveling. I am also an artist, usually painting with oil on canvas and watercolours.
