<p><strong>about me:</strong> I am a molecular biologist and a data scientist based in Munich, Germany. I am driven by discovery first and excitement second which means that I still enjoy solving puzzles but what ultimately motivates me is the direction of the work.</p>
<p>In my <strong>PhD research</strong> I am studying the the effects of mitochondrial DNA mutations across healthy human tissues in ageing and in psychiatric disease. More generally put, my <strong>scientific interests</strong> lie in how gene regulatory effects are mediated over time and how we can find the cellular states and molecular correlates underlying biological phenotypes. To learn more about this, I am using a combination of large–scale statistical genetics and single–cell &amp; spatial multi–omics approaches with the objective to inform experimental validation. In these endeavours I am <strong>greatly supported</strong> by my PhD advisor and mentor <a href="https://sites.google.com/view/nacailab">Dr.&nbsp;Na Cai</a> at <a href="https://www.pioneercampus.org/">Helmholtz Pioneer Campus</a>, my co–advisor <a href="https://www.helmholtz-munich.de/en/research-group-lab-40-2">Dr.&nbsp;Matthias Heinig</a> at the <a href="https://www.helmholtz-munich.de/en/icb">Institute of Computational Biology</a>, and more recently by our close collaborator <a href="https://www.pioneercampus.org/themenmenue-links/about-us0/principal-investigators/francesco-paolo-casale/index.html">Dr.&nbsp;Paolo Casale</a> also based at Helmholtz Pioneer Campus. I am part of the graduate program provided by the <a href="https://www.mu-ds.de/">Munich School for Data Science (MUDS)</a> and a recipient of the <a href="https://www.joachim-herz-stiftung.de/forschen/nachwuchsfoerderung/add-on-fellowship-naturwissenschaften">Add-on Fellowships for Interdisciplinary Life Science</a> awarded by the Joachim Herz foundation.</p>
<p><strong>Before starting my current position</strong>, I studied Molecular Biotechnology in Munich and Heidelberg where I did my master thesis on deep learning approaches for single–cell data integration with <a href="https://www.dkfz.de/en/bioinformatik-genomik-systemgenetik/">Prof.&nbsp;Oliver Stegle</a> at the German Cancer Research Center and pursued multiple experimental and computatinal research internships in four different countries both in academia and the private sector. I also hold an additional professional degree as a laboratory assistant in the field of chemistry.</p>
<p><strong>Outside of work</strong>, I like to spend time running &amp; hiking the outdoors, singing in choirs, and I admit to absolutely obsess about books and espresso. I also think a lot about the societal implications of science and technology and how the political discourse can be based on empirical findings. Along those lines, I co–founded and led the local branch of the climate activist group <a href="https://heidelberg.scientists4future.org/">scientists for future</a> in Heidelberg while I was still based there.</p>
