- Research interests: molecular infection biology, bacterial cell infections, host-pathogen interaction, pathogen-induced host cell modifications, molecular pathogenesis
- Supervisor in the CiM-IMPRS Graduate Programme
News & views
- “Not many natural scientists can offer the combination of basic research and clinically oriented research” – biologist Petra Dersch on natural scientists in medical research
- Video: A career as a clinician scientist – three physicians and a natural scientist talk about the role of physicians who are active in both patient care and research, the joy of the profession and what is important if you want to pursue this challenging path
