Bio

I am a molecular biologist fascinated by the champions of the living world, ranging from extremophilic microorganisms to the champion in aging - the turquoise killifish. I wander what molecular machinery makes them so special, so I’m now researching the lifelong crosstalk between killifish immunity and its gut microbiome.
