Biography
I am a bioinformatician trained with an emphasis on the interconnection of wet lab researchers and computational researchers. My academic and research training included eukaryotic biology, genome research, and wet lab training in addition to comprehensive training in theoretical and applied bioinformatics to allow the fluent communication between wet lab and bioinformatics. My work has focused on the analysis of genomics and transcriptomics data in order to answer questions in industrial biotechnology, ageing, and, since 2015, cardiovascular research.
I am currently working as postdoctoral researcher at the University Hospital Heidelberg in the Section of Bioinformatics and Systems Cardiology (Dieterich lab). My primary research topic are circular RNAs (circRNAs) in the context of cardiovascular disease. As a bioinformatician, I am working on solutions for the detection and analysis of circRNAs from sequencing data in order to obtain a deeper understanding of their function.
