What is your current position?
I am a Senior Postdoc and Principal Investigator in the Laboratory for Gastrointestinal Pathophysiology. As a next step in my career I want to establish my own research group.
What is your main research focus?
My research focus is on understanding how changes in the epithelial barrier shape immune responses in distant organs. More specifically I am interested to unravel microbiome-host communication and its impact in gut-bone communication.
What does your typical workday look like?
My typical day includes project management and a lot of communication. I meet with technicians and students to discuss their experiments and follow up on collaborations. I analyze data from experiments and interpret them in the scientific context. I create presentations or write grant proposals. And if there is any time left, I catch up on latest literature.
