Studied the evolution of cancer, the dynamics of intratumour heterogeneity, and its effect on diagnostics and therapy at the Department of Translational Hematology and Oncology Research of the Lerner Research Institute together with Prof. Jacob G. Scott MD, DPhil. Successfully obtained a research grant worth 150K$ as co-investigator to study effects of microenvironment on cancer evolution. Designed and led the tutorial on mathematical modeling for visiting and newly appointed researchers.

PHD Researcher
-
May 2016 - Apr 2020
Conducted research in the field of theoretical biology (mathematical/computational oncology) with a focus on the modeling of intratumour heterogeneity under the supervision of Prof. dr. Arne Traulsen. Developed computational, agent-based models of somatic cancer evolution to understand multi-region cancer sequencing data and to simulate diagnostic sampling of tumours. I then applied my theoretical models to real multi-region genomic data from patients with gastric cancer.I worked closely with professionals of various backgrounds: theoretical physicists, mathematicians specialized in probability theory, pathologists and oncologists.Communicated scientific insights to diverse audience via conference talk, scientific publications and press releases. Finally, after I wrote and defended doctoral dissertation at the Kiel University I was awarded a doctorate in natural sciences (Dr.rer.nat.).

As an MD student, I successfully established an experimental microbiology laboratory within the bioinformatic research group. I was responsible for full wet laboratory management and experiments on bacterial biofilms. I developed custom protocols for RNA and protein isolation from old biofilm material compatible with high throughput -omics analyses. Published first author paper on embryonic-like development of bacterial biofilms.
