"My main research focus is to decipher which cell death pathway Staphylococcus aureus employs to exit from within macrophages, which are the inducing factors, and what is the role of inflammasomes in this whole process."

"I began my postdoctoral position in Weber lab in December 2023 after completing my doctoral degree in Infection Biology at Hannover Medical School. My project focuses on the perception of chitin by mammalian pattern recognition receptors."

"As the team's bioinformatician, I handle the computational analysis of the diverse molecular data produced by our lab, alongside clinical data obtained through our collaborations with the University Hospital of Tübingen."

"Following my Master's in Molecular Life Sciences, with a focus on  Immunology and a thesis on NK cell evolution at  Georg-August-University Göttingen, I embarked on my PhD in the Weber lab starting September 2023. My research focuses on understanding the roles of  platelets, neutrophils, and Platelet-Neutrophil Complexes (PNC) in  psoriasis."
