Biography
I received my PhD in the field of human genetics from the University of Regensburg, Germany. I spent several years as a postdoctoral researcher at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden and was appointed as Senior Lecturer of Bioinformatics and Biostatistics at the Institute of Medical Sciences. Currently, I am a Professor of Epidemiology and the Health and Medical University in Potsdam, Germany as well as a Honorary Senior Lecturer at the IMS in Aberdeen.

Research Overview
The main focus of my research is to understand the inherited and acquired genetics in complex diseases. To this end, I am working with public datasets as well as consortia to generate the largest datasets for each disease of interest. I am particularly interested in diseases with a significant individual and societal burden in aging populations such as age-related macular degeneration, breast cancer and cardiometabolic diseases. My group uses the full spectrum of high-throughput omics tools available to understand the underlying biology behind those diseases with the potential to uncover novel ways to treat of prevent them.
