As a PhD candidate in avian immunology at the Friedrich Loeffler Institute, I specialize in addressing complex immunological questions, leveraging my expertise in data analysis and experimental design. With years of experience in the field, I have gained critical thinking, problem-solving, and project management skills, alongside a proven ability to adapt to new methods and overcome challenges efficiently. My collaborative work with interdisciplinary teams has sharpened my communication and teamwork capabilities.
University Hospital Jena, Germany. Hans Berger Clinic for Neurology, Department Experimental Neurology. Hippocampal plasticity and neurogenesis group of Dr. nat. Anja Urbach. Planned, executed, and evaluated different immunohistochemistry experiments of mouse brain slices. Laser scanning microscopy (Zeiss LSM 510, LSM 710, LSM 900). Analysis of neuronal cell markers in microscopical images.
University Hospital Jena, Germany. Institute for Human Genetics, Department Functional Genetics of Prof. Dr. med. Christian Hübner. Master thesis: Importance of Spatacsin for autophagic clearance of bacteria (grade: 1,5) Aimed to study the role of Spatacsin and autophagic lysosome reformation for the autophagic clearance of invading bacteria. Done by in vitro infection assay and LPS stimulation of MEFs and macrophages, tubulation experiments and analyzing inflammatory responses by ELISA assay
University Hospital Jena, Germany. Hans Berger Clinic for Neurology, Department Experimental Neurology. Hippocampal plasticity and neurogenesis group of Dr. nat. Anja Urbach. Bachelor thesis: Development of the adult hippocampal stem cell niche – effect of Cyclin D2 knockout on the population of neuronally determined progenitor cells (grade: 1,3) Used immunohistochemistry to analyze at histological level the expression pattern of DCX, Prox1 and nestin in neuronal progenitor cells during the Dentate Gyrus development and the impact of Cyclin D2 on this cell population.
