I am a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Florida, supported by a DFG Walter Benjamin Fellowship, with a PhD in Virology from Heidelberg University. My expertise spans virology, innate immunology, and cell biology, with a focus on virus–host interactions, interferon responses, and organoid models. I am passionate about understanding how viruses interact with their hosts and the immune system, with a particular interest in emerging pathogens and the One Health concept.
