About
Bio
I hold an M.Sc. in Molecular Biotechnology, where my master's thesis focused on biofabricating vascularized mini-bone constructs through integrating stem cell-derived spheroids with blood vessel organoids. My current work centers on vascularized tissue models, organoid integration, and advanced 3D human in vitro systems for translational and disease-oriented research.
Earlier, I completed degrees in Animal Sciences and Molecular Biology, including antibody-generation work targeting Suppressor of sable and Bällchen in Drosophila (cloning in E. coli, protein expression, and downstream validation). This interdisciplinary path built my expertise across molecular biology, protein expression, and advanced biofabrication.
