I am a trained Biochemist and currently a Scientist, doing research on flaviviruses, focusing on identifying the factors these viruses use to enter both human and insect cells. My project is set to conclude by January 1, 2025, and I am now seeking job opportunities from that date onward. With the rising importance of flaviviruses in Germany, including the increasing detection of West Nile Virus, which can cause severe neurological symptoms in humans and animals, my work holds significant relevance. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Biochemistry from the University of Jena and a Master's degree from the University of Würzburg. My background is in infection biology, with a strong interest in RNA biology. I also have international experience, having completed technical training in Sweden and Finland. I am open to relocation and am considering roles in quality management, preclinical research, drug development, or traditional scientific research.

I am a PhD student in the lab of Stefan Jakobs at the MPI for Biophysical Chemistry in Göttingen, Germany. My interests include the crosstalk between mitochondrial function and ultrastructure, microscopy and, generally, the spatial organisation of the cell, especially of membranes. Additionally, I am a founding member and spokesperson of the Göttingen local group of the junior-GBM.

Junior-GBM is the Junior Section of the German Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (GBM). It was set up in 2011 to support the career development and networking opportunities of students and young researchers in the molecular life sciences in Germany. The Junior-GBM organise and deliver their own activities, under the supervision of their Society and all members of the Junior-GBM are members of the GBM. Junior-GBM are also part of the FEBS Junior Section. To find out more about the Junior-GBM read their overview post and check out the online talks and other activities they deliver, accesible from the 'Popular contributions' section below.
