I completed my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in pharmacology and biomedical sciences, respectively. I then undertook research focused on unraveling the diverse physiological roles of kisspeptin for my doctoral degree (Dr. rer. nat.). In my current position as a postdoctoral researcher in the neurovascular disorders group, I use two-photon microscopy to dissect the long-term interactions and mechanisms underlying the comorbidity between cerebrovascular pathology and Alzheimer’s disease.

For my Bachelors, I studied Biosciences at the Ruprecht- Karls University in Heidelberg. I continued my studies at the University in Heidelberg with a Master course in Molecular Bioscience - Major Neuroscience and completed my Master Thesis “Effects of exogenic stressors on endogenous tau protein phosphorylation in hiPSC derived neurons” at the BioMedX innovation center. To complete my studies, I moved to Frankfurt where I investigate molecular alterations in pericytes in the comorbidity of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and Vascular Cognitive Impairment (VCI). I will use primary culture and co-culture methods to analyze possible changes in the pericytes way of interacting with the amyloid-beta (Aβ) protein and the cells Aβ clearing capacity both in vitro and in vivo.
