I am a MD thesis student in the lab. I began studying medicine at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf in 2022 and joined the lab by the end of 2025. My main goal is to translate inflammatory pathways derived from single-cell sequencing studies to fluid biomarkers in Alzheimer's disease. Therefore, I combine omics analyses of postmortem brains and body fluids with cross-sectional and longitudinal statistical models.

I am a Clinician Scientist in our lab and the department of psychiatry, UKE. I studied medicine at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf and have been working in the psychiatry department since 2024. My main interest lays in uncovering neuroglia communication, for example by extracellular vesicles. To this end, I use bioinformatics to integrate clinical and omics data as well as experimental models to investigate molecular mechanisms of cellular communication.

I am the principal investigator of the TND lab, a Clinician Scientist in the department of neurology, UKE (Tim Magnus, Götz Thomalla), an associated researcher at the Translational Neuroimaging Laboratory, McGill Research Center for Studies in Aging (Pedro Rosa-Neto), and an adjunct professor at the department of neurology and neurosurgery, McGill University (Guy A. Rouleau). Our goal is to understand how inflammation, cell death and co-pathologies contribute to Alzheimer's disease by investigating the molecular mechanisms and identifying biomarkers for individualised treatments in the future. We have close national and international collaborations and want to encourage a dynamic, collaborative, transparent and open research environment.
