Curriculum Vitae

Diploma in Nutritional Science at the University of Hohenheim

PhD at the Institute of Biological Chemistry and Nutritional Science at the University of Hohenheim (Prof. Jürgen Frank/Prof. Hans Konrad Biesalski) entitled “Role of reactive oxygen species in anti-cancer treatment: investigations into 2-methoxyestradiol chemotherapy and 5-aminolevulinic acid-based photodynamic therapy combined with hyperthermia”

Since completing her PhD, research assistant at the Institute of Nutritional Sciences at the University of Hohenheim in the areas of teaching, research and academic administration

Freelancer at day-med-concept GmbH, Berlin (ended):

  • Development of web-based applications in the field of nutrition/health

Freelancer at GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare GmbH & Co.KG (ended):

  • Lecturer for pharmacist training courses in the field of micronutrients

Research interests:

Adipose tissue is a highly dynamic and heterogeneous organ. Its cellular composition varies depending, among other factors, on its anatomical location – for example, subcutaneous, visceral or epidural – as well as on fat mass and the availability of nutrients and hormonal signals. Furthermore, adipose tissue functions as an endocrine organ and produces numerous adipokines, including leptin, which play a key role in regulating metabolic processes and the development of diseases.

To investigate these relationships, we use human adipose tissue samples as well as an in vitro model in which primary human preadipocytes are differentiated into mature adipocytes. Under defined experimental conditions, we analyse morphological changes, gene and protein expression, and metabolic parameters such as oxygen consumption rate and glycolytic activity. This allows us to systematically investigate the effects of weight loss, the availability of (micro)nutrients, and various diseases on the metabolic and morphological properties of adipocytes.
