Research statement
I am interested in developing an immune therapy against aggressive squamos cell carcinoma, which many dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa patients are suffering from. I am always keen to learn new techniques that are relevant to translational research in genetic diseases
Personal interests
I am a passionate horse enthusiast and spend most of my free time with my horse and dogs.
