Personal profile

  • 2019 - Present: PostDoc - Centre for Discovery Brain Sciences, Biomedical Sciences, University of Edinburgh (lab of Barry Denholm), Scotland, UK.
  • 2016 - 2019: PostDoc - Department II of Internal Medicine and Center for Molecular Medicine, (lab of Prof. P. Brinkkötter), Cologne,Germany.
  • 2017 - 2017:  Research stay - (in the lab of Barry Denholm),  University of Edinburgh, Scotland.
  • 2011 - 2016:  PhD student - Department II of Internal Medicine, Nephrolab (lab of Prof. T. Benzing), Cologne,Germany.

Research

In the lab of Barry Denholm I will study mechanosensation and cell polarity signalling pathways in Drosophila nephrocytes. I aim to setup novel in vivo imaging approaches to visualizes mechanotransduction processes and their downstream events in nephrocytes.
