Your scientific background/interests

I am interested in bioprocess engineering. The topic of my Master’s degree was already the model-based overall process development for the continuous production of virus-like particles with HEK293 cells.

Your role in the CAARE project

My role in the CAARE project will be th modeling of the downstream processing of bionanoparticles using convective media and continuous flow ultracentrifugation and also the purification of bionanoparticles and analytical characterization of product and impurities.

A hobby or interest outside of science

Besides trying out new things, plants and baking, I like travelling and hiking. Preferably hiking while travelling. 😉
