I studied Biological Sciences as an undergraduate degree at Wolfgang von Goethe University, Germany, graduating in 2016. I then pursued my master’s degree in biomedical research at Maastricht University in 2018. I finished my PhD at Cardiff University, UK, in 2023. The focus of my doctoral research was on designing a stem cell model for the Tuberous sclerosis complex, modelling neurodevelopment and neurodifferentiation in comparison to dementia. Following my PhD, I started a 2-year Postdoc on developing a microfluidic model for iPS-derived sensory and cortical neurons in the Raouf lab, in collaboration with a German Pharma Company from January 2023.

In March 2025, I started in the Lieberam group, setting up an iPSC-derived neuromuscular circuit model for Type 2 Diabetes in Collaboration with Cambridge and UCL. Our aim for this project is to investigate the mechanism of the Insulin-GLUT4 signalling in myofibers, as current research has mostly focused on adipocytes due to the technical difficulties of culturing myofibers. To counteract these difficulties, the Lieberam group, in collaboration with the Song Group from UCL, developed a nanofiber scaffold system to culture the myofibres.
