I am responsible for the Rink Team's planarian flatworms since 2023. This means that I optimize the worm culture system and make the wellbeing of these fascinating animals my mission.  I am very much looking forward to getting new insights into the world of flatworms and planarian research.

I used to work in the department for "Cellular Logistics" since 2006, taking care of the Xenopus frog facility and performing experimental work on nuclear transport projects and on raising nanobodies in alpacas.

Originally, I started out as a technical assistant in the lab of Peter Gruss, where I worked on creating and analyzing knock-out mice.
