Ioanna Prasopoulou
City Coordinator
I recently graduated from my Master's in Molecular Biology and am currently working as a biomedical curator. As a new member of the Pint of Science team, I am excited to get together, discuss, and break down mind-boggling science concepts in our events.

Yassin Harim
City Coordinator
I am a molecular biologist pursuing my PhD in neuroscience at DKFZ in Heidelberg. Having always enjoyed teaching STEM students, I ventured into science communication on Instagram in 2021, and I am super excited to be a part of Pint of Science Heidelberg!

Dr. Pilar Calleja Ramos
Event & Publicity Manager
Chemist by training, I moved to Heidelberg for a one-year postdoc but decided to stay longer. Currently working as a scientific editor for Angewandte Chemie and looking forward to organizing the next Pint of Science event!

Dr. Francesca Coraggio
Event Manager
I am very enthusiastic to organize Pint of Science Heidelberg. After my PhD in molecular biology, I focused my career in helping others as a Laboratory Manager. I also enjoy organising scientific/career events and motivating children to pursue STEM careers.

Aileen Uy
Event Manager
I am a medical technologist turned molecular biologist, currently pursuing my PhD at the DKFZ. Growing up, science in tv shows and pop culture made complex concepts more fun and engaging (and inspired me to pursue this career path)! I’m excited to do the same through Pint of Science Heidelberg!
Dr. Ulrike Träger
Event Manager
After my postdoc, I traded experiments for explanations! Now, I coordinate communication for a scientific project, making complex ideas accessible for users and patients. I’m excited to bring this passion to Pint of Science and look forward to making science more engaging—one pint at a time!

Merve Pekerli
Event Manager
I am a master's student, I study molecular biosciences. I think talking about science in a more understandable way for everyone brings a mutual relationship between science and society. I am excited to be a part of Pint of Science and looking forward to chatting about science with everyone!

Valerie Christ
Event Manager
Hi, I'm Valerie, and I'm currently pursuing my master's in molecular biosciences, focusing on stem cells & developmental biology questions. Isn't it fascinating how organisms develop from just one cell? I'm truly passionate about science and love sharing that enthusiasm with others.

Maria del Pilar Palacios
Event Manager
Originally from Ecuador, I relocated to Heidelberg some years ago for my bachelor's. Now, I am pursuing my master's in molecular biotechnology. I love the idea of making science clear, engaging, and accessible to people from diverse backgrounds. Pint of Science provides the ideal platform for this!

Laura Lange
Event Manager
I am a molecular biotechnology master's student passionate about synthetic biology, virology,
& nanotechnology. I also like to get out of my biology bubble and try to make
complex scientific concepts understandable and accessible to everyone!

Berkan Kanmaz
Event Manager
I am Berkan, a neuroscientist pursuing a Master of Science degree at Heidelberg University. After my studies in Turkey, I came to the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg. I am passionate about unraveling the complexities of the brain and sharing these insights with others.
