Biography:

I joined the MRC Toxicology Unit in February 2020 as a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Van de Pette programme.
I completed my PhD at the Leibniz-Institute of Molecular Pharmacology, my undergraduate degree at the University of Göttingen and postgraduate MSC program in Medical Biology at the University of Duisburg-Essen.

 

Research interests:

As part of the Van de Pette program, I study links between developmental exposure to environmental and pharmacological agents, and their impact on the embryonic and post-natal epigenome. Furthermore, I use my experience in structural biology to advance projects that rely on data mining approaches to integrate and model structural, genomic and disease-related contexts of RNA-binding proteins.
