I am a molecular biologist from India presently doing my PhD in Biochemistry at CAU-Kiel where I look at transcription mechanisms on a deeper level in the context of tumours. My interest in sci-comm is heavily inspired by Wendy Zukerman. I also enjoy baking and a good true crime podcast.
Sophie Steinhäuser
Location / Sponsor manager
As scientist at the UKSH in Kiel, I try to understand what causes leukemia and why current therapies help some people but not others. I hope that one day my findings can help to improve this! Pint of Science helps me to communicate my research not only to other scientists but actually to everybody.
