Bio: After finishing my bachelor´s study working on Plant-Microbe-Interactions, I joined Matias Zurbriggen´s Lab for my master’s studies working on plant synthetic light signaling pathways. After successfully applying for the Max Planck graduate school (IMPRS), I continued with my PhD-thesis, now focusing on achieving a quantitative understanding of complex light-dependent and phytohormone-regulated plant signaling pathways using mammalian cells as an orthogonal system.
