Pharmacological dependencies of pancreatic cancer

Faculty of Medicine - Technical University of Munich

I started my medical studies in 2019 at Ludwig-Maximilians-University (LMU) in Munich.
After finishing the preclinical part in 2021, I chose to continue the clinical one at TU München.
Since 2022 I am part of the Saur lab, looking for the perfect synergism among drugs for pancreatic cancer cells.

CRISPRa screening in prancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

I studied preclinical medicine at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University (LMU) Munich from 2015-2017 and have been continuing my clinical studies at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) since 2017. After finishing the preclinical part of my course, I started studying B.A. Philosophy at the LMU in 2017, parallel to my medical studies. In April 2020 I joined the Saur lab to work on my MD thesis in translational medicine (Dr. med. sci) on CRISPRa screening in PDAC.
