Detail

What I offer

• I in general offer mentoring and guidance during PhD studies. I did not graduate from a medical university myself but am at the MedUni Wien since 2016 now and co-supervised several master students as well as a couple of PhD students
• I can offer internships
• There is no patient contact at our institute
• Joining during experiments is possible
• I cannot offer specific information to stays abroad
• Potential collaborations are always welcome

I offer also the topic "Studying with a child".

What I expect from the students

I expect respectful communication and like any types of questions asked out or genuine curiosity. In that sense, I would say there are not stupid questions.

Time constraints for meetings

A minimum of 6 meetings during the semester, at or close to the Anatomy and Cell biology Department in Schwarzspanierstrasse 17, 1090 (approximately for 1h).

Preferable timings are either breakfast-meetings or meetings starting latest by 2 pm.

What else I would like to say

I studied Biotechnology at the BOKU in Vienna and switched to the University of Vienna (@MPL) for my masters thesis in order to focus more on basic research questions.

After my master thesis in the Egon Ogris lab I started my PhD with Micheal Jantsch. After a 2-year postdoc at the CCRI (St. ANNA), I rejoined the Jantsch lab as a Postdoc. I had 2 maternity leaves: in 2017 and 2018/19. In 2019, I started to coordinate a FWF funded YIRG (young independent researcher group) that ended in 2023. Since then I am Senior researcher at the institute and still enjoy studying RNA modifications.

Since I come from a basic research background, I would counsel you on daily problems or challenges that are related to scientific aspects of the PhD work or are team-member of PI-related issues.

I hope to pass on my enthusiasm for good science, and show you that despite the current odds a career in science is possible and worth the effort.
