After obtaining a degree in Biology at the Technical University of Braunschweig, Germany I did my PhD at the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research in Braunschweig where I worked on "Intracellular Bacteria as Vectors for Gene Transfer in vitro and in vivo".
In a previous project as a postdoctoral researcher I focussed on E. coli K1 infection in neonates and treatment thereof in keeping with the theme of bacterial infections.
I joined the School in June 2008 to set up an in vivo imaging system to facilitate testing of anti-Tuberculosis drugs.
