Laura Lechner
Event Manager
Hi! My name is Laura and I am a PhD student at Charité, in the field of cardiac tissue engineering. I am interested in how living tissues move and respond- especially the heart. I joined the Pint of Science team to encourage people to engage with science, share ideas and spark curiosity.
Paula Düllmann
Event Manager
I’m a PhD student studying endosymbionts in insect gut immunity at the MPI for Infection Biology. To me, science isn’t just about new discoveries but also about sharing these with a broader audience. As part of the Pint of Science team, I want to get others just as excited about science as I am!
Nina Stremmel
Event Manager
As a PhD student at the Charité, I use systems biology approaches to investigate metabolic diversity of microbes. Besides my research, I enjoy exploring and discussing science across disciplines. Pint of Science is a great platform where different perspectives meet and often lead to exciting ideas!
Ronja Offer
Event Manager
I finished my PhD last year on the regulation of bacterial biofilms. Currently, I am teaching lab courses to get school students excited about molecular biology. I love sharing my passion for research and getting inspired myself, and that's why I joined Pint of Science.
