Why are you doing a PhD:
I was always fascinated by biological complexity and diversity so it was a natural decision for me to choose the scientific direction in my education. During my studies I have discovered that my highest interest lies in the field of cancer research.
Doing a PhD is a great starting point to pursue research career and to contribute to cancer research. It is a challenging adventure which offers an opportunity to continue education and actively do science.
What are your interests outside the lab?
I like to closely follow the topics of technology and informatics so I guess you could describe me as a tech geek. I also enjoy doing bodyweight workouts.
All of those I do while listening to fine tunes of rock, metal and electro music. I love coffee and immersive TV shows.
