"I studied classical chemistry, completed additional internships at the Institute of Biochemistry in Würzburg and was thus able to complete my diploma and PhD thesis in this field of chemistry. Based on my experiences that I could gather as a researcher at immatics biotechnologies GmbH in Germany and abroad, I can easily identify suitable partners from companies or institutions in an international context in order to initiate potential collaborations. Since 2011, I have been involved in various EU projects at BioRegio STERN Management GmbH and am now responsible as a project manager for the Interreg NWE project Boost4Health, launched in April 2016, to support and promote the economic development of regional and transnational SMEs. Through my numerous contacts with other European networks, I am also the initiator and contact for further diverse cooperation in neighboring European countries."

After completing my Bachelor’s degree in Food Science and Biotechnology and my international Master’s degree in Food Biotechnology, I pursued a Ph.D. in Bioprocess Engineering at the University of Hohenheim. During my doctoral research, I focused intensively on the production of animal-like proteins, such as casein, using various microorganisms. This work provided me with extensive experience in molecular biology, microbiology, and biotechnology. Through my involvement in various national and international projects, I gained valuable insights into the biotech and life sciences industry.
During my internships at Bitburger Braugruppe in Bitburg and the former LSG Sky Chefs GmbH in Munich, I demonstrated my organizational skills in a dynamic environment and further developed my passion for creative solutions and new challenges.
Since 2025, I have been working as an International Project Manager at BioRegio STERN Management GmbH, contributing to various EU projects.

I completed my Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Biotechnology at the University of Hohenheim. In my thesis work at the Institute of Bioprocess Engineering, I focused on microbial biosurfactant production. My research included investigating the biosurfactant production in shake flasks using lignocellulose, a sustainable carbon source, as well as exploring molecular process control strategies in a 20L bioreactor.
After that, I worked for three years as a Process Engineer in process development for plasmid production at CureVac in Tübingen. During this time, I actively contributed to the development of microbial cell banks and the clone selection process for a production clone.
Since February 2025, I have been working as a Project Manager at BioRegio STERN Management GmbH, supporting the team in the implementation of EU-funded projects. I am particularly excited to accompany and shape the development of innovative and forward-thinking technologies, especially in an international context.

"After studying Medical Engineering in Stuttgart and Tübingen and completing my Master’s in Biomedical Technologies at the University of Tübingen, I gained experience in translational research, experimental oncology, and microfluidic medical technology. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I was involved in a large-scale diagnostic project, conducting PCR testing for the entire southwest of Germany. Additionally, I worked in clinical diagnostics and in various life sciences companies.
Since 2025, I have been strengthening BioRegio STERN Management GmbH as a Project Manager. My focus is on connecting medical technology companies with clinical users, driven by my strong commitment to fostering close collaboration between science and industry. In this interdisciplinary environment, engineers, biologists, physicists, and physicians work together to develop solutions that would not emerge individually."

“I completed my degree in Marketing and Media Management with a specialization in product and customer management at Heilbronn University. During my studies, I gained professional experience in the field of e-commerce, working specifically in digital marketing, content management and campaign planning. I also carried out my own practical projects in the area of trade fairs and events in connection with my bachelor's thesis. I have been responsible for marketing at BioRegio STERN since November 2022. In addition to managing the content on our digital channels, I am responsible for conceptual marketing planning and support the organization and implementation of our events.”
