DPhil Student

I am a DPhil student in the Simões group, funded by the BHF CRE and DPAG. My research focuses on developing a functional vascularised cardiac organoid system for target discovery of proangiogenic therapeutics. I completed my master’s project in the Simões group during my Master’s course in Medical Biotechnology at the Technical University of Berlin, working on cardiac regeneration in zebrafish.

Prior to joining the Simões group, I interned at the Diabetes Center of the University of California, San Francisco, and worked as a student assistant at a 3D bioprinting startup (Cellbricks GmbH) during my studies. I completed my Bachelor's degree in Biotechnology (BSc) at the Technical University of Berlin.
