Deciphering cell-cell communication networks in the PDAC tumor microenviroment

I obtained my Bachelor's degree from the University of Kiel, where I evaluated the efficacy of novel antibody-drug conjugates in pancreatic cancer (PDAC). Following this, I pursued the Master of Multidisciplinary Sciences in Experimental Sciences offered by the Barcelona Institute for Science and Technology. During this program, I investigated early-induced microenvironment remodeling factors in PDAC as part of a joint research project between the Institute for Research in Biomedicine in Barcelona and the Barcelona Supercomputing Centre.

In September 2024, I joined the Saur Lab as a PhD candidate. My research focuses on deciphering cell-cell communication networks in PDAC, exploring tumor heterogeneity, treatment resistance, and immune cell interactions using single-cell and spatial technologies.
