About me
I am fascinated by the origins of life. How we can synthesize life in laboratory using the simple chemical molecules? Currently, I am working as postdoc in the Göpfrich Group. I am using DNA/RNA nanotechnology and microfluidics to build components for synthetic cells. During my PhD, I developed a light-based communication model in a synthetic cell using bioluminescence and photoswitchable proteins in Prof. Seraphine Wegner’s lab.
