As research associate I am among other things responsible for cell culture experiments and the multi-modal optical setup in our lab, which we call fondly MISFIT (Macroscopic Imaging Setup for Fluorescence Investigative Tasks).
In my capacity of being biologist, more precisely animal physiologist, I am strongly interested in biophysical, molecular/genetic research and biomaterials. Beside questions on cell culture I am also working on the self-organization of tissue development, which plays an important role in 3D tissue engineering.
