I am part of an industrial collaboration evaluating and comparing various nanoparticle-based drugs. We are characterizing the biological activity of these compounds using complex in vitro models. Furthermore, I am involved in an early-stage research project aimed at incorporating patient-derived tumor biopsies into an organ-on-a-chip platform.
I implemented spatial image analysis algorithms to relate high-dimensional single-cell data, that I generated during my time as a master student, to clinical patient data. I am also writing a manuscript together with a senior scientist to publish these findings (currently under revision). I regularly convened with collaborators from clinics to discuss the relevance of thisdata to patients.
I did an extensive experimental validation of RNA in situ hybridization targets for Imaging Mass Cytometry (IMC). I then integrated these targets with an antibody panel to investigate the immune landscape and the corresponding chemokine profile in melanoma patients. I also spearheaded a side project to investigate counter staining methods for IMC. The abstract of my thesis can be downloaded here.
I maintain the website with up-to-date information, thus I initiate communication and liaise between team members to gather relevant content.
I investigated the effect of newly synthetized proteasome inhibitors on different Multiple Myeloma cell lines and compared the effect of these new inhibitors with approved drugs using various techniques such as MTS assays, ABP labelling, and Flow Cytometry.
I was responsible for the accounting of an army training center in Chur. I also trained several quartermaster sergeant candidates in accounting and food supply.
I was responsible for the food and administrative issues of 200 military staff (company level).
I gained experience in different departments in the company including customer service, marketing and accounting. I regularly authored reports, mentored junior apprentices and had the opportunity to interact with customers.

I like to organize events where family and friends meet. I like to combine this passion with other interests like music. One of the results is an annual music festival that I organize with some childhood friends. I also enjoy traveling and learning about other cultures and their history. My favorite destination is Tuscany in Italy with its historical villages and excellent cuisine.
