Biography

Cambridge! What an opportunity to pass my PhD at this university, where so many great physicists have left their footprints. And since biotechnology, cancer-, and stem cell research are present almost everywhere in Cambridge, this is a near perfect environment to study such an interdisciplinary field as biophysics. Therefore, I investigated the mechanical properties of stem cells by stretching them with the help of laser light. I am now in my 4th year in Cambridge and about to write down all the research I have done during this exciting time.
