About Me & Research
Short Bio:
I studied biology in Leipzig where I developed a keen interest in insects. After investigating the local beetle diversity in my
Bachelor’s and Master’s Thesis, I now focus on researching and understanding the evolution of heritable insect-
microbe symbioses.
Research Interests:
- Wolbachia
- Solitary bees
- Nutritional symbiosis
- (Meta-)Genomics
Current Projects:
B-Vitamin supplementation by Wolbachia to insect hosts.
Fun Fact:I am still very fond of beetles! I used to not be able to properly operate a phone and now I
spend most of my time in the Linux command line. If I’m not in the office, I’m probably making Tea or Coffee.
