Background
I completed my PhD at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) and subsequently pursued postdoctoral research at the Wellcome Sanger Institute in the UK, focusing on identifying vulnerabilities across different types of leukemia, with a particular emphasis on acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
In my current role as Scientific Project Manager and Senior Staff Scientist in the Laboratory of Prof. Claudia Lengerke at the University Hospital Tübingen, I coordinate all ongoing research projects, support new grant applications, and pursue my own scientific interests. My research centers on identifying targetable mechanisms to enhance the NKG2DL-mediated immunogenicity of AML cells using CRISPR/Cas9 screens, with the ultimate goal of improving natural killer (NK) cell–based therapies for AML patients.
