“Throughout my time as a doctoral student and post-doctoral researcher, it was always the interface between basic and applied research in the field of conventional biotechnology and molecular biology that fascinated me most. For instance, my doctoral work dealt with plant viruses that were integrated into hybrid materials as innovative self-assembling nanodevices. For the project planning and implementation of this, I worked in an interdisciplinary team of chemists and physicists. My post-doctorate work also focussed on cooperation with various regional and international partners. In addition, I continued training in the GMP-regulated environment, which means I have an excellent grasp of the standard guidelines and tools involved in quality and project management. I started working at BioRegio STERN Management GmbH as a project manager in October 2018, where I assist the team in implementing EU development projects. What I find particularly interesting in this context is the EU-wide networking of SMEs from the life sciences sector and the development of new technologies.”

After completing my Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Sciences and my Master's degree in Interdisciplinary Product Development at Reutlingen University, I dedicated myself intensively to the research and development of innovative materials. My focus was on the development of antibacterial surfaces and the integration of smart technologies in textile applications. In my career to date, I have been involved in interdisciplinary projects and have been able to successfully contribute my expertise in experiment planning, physicochemical analyses and the presentation of research results. To further expand my knowledge in the areas of ‘Good Clinical Practice’ (GCP), ‘Good Manufacturing Practice’ (GCP) and ‘Quality Management in the Medical Device Industry’, I completed further training as a Life Science Manager. This qualification gave me a broad range of skills, including strategic planning, innovation management and regulatory requirements in the life science industry. At BioRegio STERN, I will support the development and implementation of the AIM platform and participate in ZIM networks.

"After studying Medical Engineering in Stuttgart and Tübingen and completing my Master’s in Biomedical Technologies at the University of Tübingen, I gained experience in translational research, experimental oncology, and microfluidic medical technology. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I was involved in a large-scale diagnostic project, conducting PCR testing for the entire southwest of Germany. Additionally, I worked in clinical diagnostics and in various life sciences companies.
Since 2025, I have been strengthening BioRegio STERN Management GmbH as a Project Manager. My focus is on connecting medical technology companies with clinical users, driven by my strong commitment to fostering close collaboration between science and industry. In this interdisciplinary environment, engineers, biologists, physicists, and physicians work together to develop solutions that would not emerge individually."

After completing my Bachelor’s degree in Food Science and Biotechnology and my international Master’s degree in Food Biotechnology, I pursued a Ph.D. in Bioprocess Engineering at the University of Hohenheim. During my doctoral research, I focused intensively on the production of animal-like proteins, such as casein, using various microorganisms. This work provided me with extensive experience in molecular biology, microbiology, and biotechnology. Through my involvement in various national and international projects, I gained valuable insights into the biotech and life sciences industry.
During my internships at Bitburger Braugruppe in Bitburg and the former LSG Sky Chefs GmbH in Munich, I demonstrated my organizational skills in a dynamic environment and further developed my passion for creative solutions and new challenges.
Since 2025, I have been working as an International Project Manager at BioRegio STERN Management GmbH, contributing to various EU projects.
