Just recently left academia to bring science closer to patients in being responsible for Medical Education at Novocure GmbH. Not only patients but all-science enthusiasts should be informed about what is happening! In my free time, I love to be in the nature going for a run, hike&fly or biking.

I love sports, veggies and science,
as roadbiking runner I grow my lung volume, as gardener I grow eggplants and as a scientist in the field of immunology I grow cells.
With passion you can grow a lot.
