M.Sc. Bioinformatics student · TUM & LMU
I use computational methods and machine learning to study gene regulation and cellular states, with interests in single-cell genomics and systems immunology.
Selected research
- Milk microRNAs and human gene regulation – Assessing evidence for human regulatory targets and modeling inflammatory signaling.
- Sex-specific gene regulation – Predicting gene expression from DNA sequence with deep learning.
- Spatial transcriptomics of colon cancer – Inferring cell–cell communication from spatial data.
- Allele-specific expression pipelines – Reproducible RNA-seq workflows in Snakemake and Nextflow.
Currently
I'll be in the Bay Area –, and again in . I'm planning my master's thesis abroad for .
