Research statement

As a scientific associate in the group "Small Molecules & Epigenetics" my focus lies on RNA and gene therapy, miRNAs and the identification and characterization of small molecules that might have a positive impact on the symptoms of EB.

.

Personal interests

I enjoy spending my free time in the nearby mountains.
