“I completed my studies in classical biology at the University of Hohenheim. During my Master’s program, I gained valuable practical experience through an internship semester at Greiner Bio-One GmbH, where I had the opportunity to gain insights into various departments. There, I became familiar with the entire product development process for specific applications in medical, pharmaceutical, and biotechnological research. Subsequently, I wrote my Master’s thesis at the Institute of Membrane Physiology in cooperation with Greiner Bio-One GmbH. In this context, I characterized magnetic nanoparticles serving as a model system for the generation of 3D cell cultures and investigated their effects on cellular parameters. Since 2018, I have been working as a Project and Technology Transfer Manager at BioRegio STERN Management GmbH. I am particularly fascinated by identifying and advancing innovative technologies in the life sciences and connecting them with emerging fields of the future. As an experienced ZIM network manager, I connect companies from different industries, actively promote innovation, and thereby contribute to strengthening the region as a business location.”
