I am structural biologist by training and have been employed at the Medical University of Vienna since 2016 . I had obtained my BSc. (2005) and MSc. (2008) at Toronto's York University, and defended my doctorate at the Technical University of Munich in 2014. My main research interests at the Institute of Medical Genetics at the Medical University, involve the structural and biophysical characterization of MeCP2 constructs in context of developing protein replacement therapy to treat the neurodevelopmental disorder Rett Syndrome.
