About me:
since 2022: PhD student at the Institute of Physical Chemistry in the Hugel lab
2019 - 2022: Master of Science in Biology (Microbial and Plant Biotechnology) at the Technical University Kaiserslautern
2021 - 2022: External Internship and Master Thesis at the University of Graz, Austria in the Department of Membrane Biophysics
2020: Research Internship at the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague, Czech Republic
2015 - 2019: Bachelor of Science in Biosciences at the Technical University of Kaiserslautern
Research interest:
We want to capture the pre-condensate state and therefore use low expression conditions with low laser power in our microscope to investigate the formation of those 'clusters' by almost single-molecule resolution. Furthermore, we want to shed light on the factors that drive signalling in condensate formation.
