I am a PhD student at the Institute for Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine, TUD, Dresden.

What is your main research focus?

My research focuses mainly on unraveling the regulatory mechanisms linking chronic gut inflammation and bone loss. Specifically, we are investigating the interplay between gut vascular
barrier dysfunction and bone loss in the context of intestinal inflammation induced by altered systemic erythropoietin (EPO) levels.

What does your typical workday look like?

My typical day at work involves planning and performing experiments, analyzing experimental data, literature review, attending lab and scientific meetings, as well as discussing ideas and results with my supervisor and other colleagues.
