Background in synthetic biology, microfluidics and physical chemistry
bio
I am currently working as a postdoctoral researcher at TU Dortmund, The focus of my current projects is on establishing platforms for in vivo RNA replication and ssDNA production.
Prior to this, during my PhD, I worked on microfluidics and cytomimetic liposomes to study the physical biology of cells.

PUBLICATIONS
Cells are the most advanced chemical reactors on this planet. over the course of billions of years of evolution, they have become incredibly context specific and functional. If we ever hope to achieve proficiency in working with cells, we need robust, reproducible, and detailed experimental knowledge.
