Über mich
Research scientist with experience in synthetic biology, molecular biology, microbiology, as well as immunology and infectious disease. Specific interest in molecular cloning and developing and optimising assays, methods and workflows by iterative design and testing. Experience in lab automation, engineering bacterial strains, and generating knockout cell lines using CRISPR/Cas9. Award-winning scientific communication skills, highly organised, precise, analytical, and target-oriented mindset. Extensive experience in mentoring and training undergraduates, postgraduates, and postdocs in laboratory skills. Experienced in teamwork, leadership and collaborations, including international and interdisciplinary. Motivated, self-driven, and hard-working. Lead and contributing author on highly-cited scientific publications. I like cloning and I like optimising stuff.
