Curiosity and the belief that one never stops learning have guided me throughout my academic path. With a B.Sc. in Biology and an M.Sc. in Molecular Biomedicine, I am now pursuing a PhD in Biochemistry at the TU Dortmund in Germany focusing on biomimetics and synthetic biology. My current project centers on designing ribosomes capable of translating mRNA with non-canonical background chemistry, bridging biology, chemistry, and engineering. Always eager to expand my horizons, I strive to contribute to advancing the possibilities of synthetic biology and biotechnology.
