I am very excited to start working at nRIM. I will be involved in a project that combines optical and genetic techniques to study the cellular function of various membrane proteins in neuronal cells. My role will include designing viral vectors to introduce foreign light-sensitive genes into the cells.
Originally having a background in water treatment, I gradually developed an interest in the wonders of biology and am eager to learn more about the molecular mechanisms inside living cells. I enjoy learning about other projects and the opportunity to meet people from different cultural backgrounds.
In my free time, I like cooking, listening to podcasts and watch animals.
