What I'm looking for

I'm looking to structure complex translational research, optimize workflows, and connect scientific, operational, and strategic perspectives. I value collaborative, interdisciplinary teams advancing preclinical biomedical innovation.

At GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research, I coordinated preclinical radiobiology and oncology studies, structuring in vivo workflows across imaging, radiation exposure, and molecular analysis.

I investigate radioprotective mechanisms and tumor development using disease models, micro-CT, X-ray, and C-ion radiation techniques. I also support project delivery, data analysis, publications, and communication across researchers, technical staff, and students.

During my PhD research at Universitätsklinikum Tübingen, I designed rodent studies on microglial epigenetic reprogramming in neurodegenerative disease. My work combined molecular and cellular assays with OMICS and imaging-based data analysis to interpret complex disease mechanisms.

I've also contributed to microscopy, photonics, and spectroscopy research at FLI, DZNE, and the Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology. I enjoy bringing scientific, operational, and strategic perspectives together to keep interdisciplinary research moving toward actionable outcomes.
