Vita

Curriculum

Since 2022: Research assistant & PhD student at the Chair of Chemistry of Biogenic Resources
2019-2021: Master’s degree in Biochemistry, University of Bielefeld
- Master thesis: Towards selective biocatalytic alkylation chemistry: Substrate promiscuity and enzyme engineering of S-adenosyl homocysteine-dependent transferases
2016-2019: Bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry, University of Bielefeld
- Bachelor thesis: Fluoreszente Proben via Suzuki-Miyaura Kreuzkupplung an zyklischen Peptiden zur Erkennung der Aβ1-42 Oligomerisierung

Forschung

In my work, I focus on ancestral sequence reconstruction and mutagenesis of dehydratases to investigate their substrate selectivity. The dehydratases will be employed in cascade reactions utilizing sugar derivatives to synthesize building blocks for fine chemicals.
