About me

Research

I am interested in large scale multi-omics studies to uncover hollistic models investigating multi-organ diseases, oncogenesis and evolution in cancer. Furthermore, I am interested in optimizing and streamlining data analysis, ensuring data quality and facilitating interpretation of cancer sequencing data in the clinical context.

Scientific Background

II received my Master's Degree in Biology in 2019 at the Institute for Botanic and Molecular Genetics of the RWTH Aachen University, where I used Nanopore long-read and Illumina short-read sequencing to help reconstructing the reference genome of a polyploid potato cultivar. This further sparked my interest in Omics and led me to join the Institute of Pathology of the RWTH University clinic, where I focused on reconstructing the clonal composition of bladder cancer for clinical application in cooperation with the Peifer Lab in Cologne from 2019 to 2022. I am working as a bioinformatician and analyst for multiple cooperative projects, including the DNPM initative and the CIO-ABCD, helping in analyzing cancer sequencing data.
