Profile Summary

I am a cell and developmental biologist with a PhD from Hannover Medical School, specialising in advanced fluorescence microscopy and quantitative bioimage analysis. My doctoral research used the Drosophila ovary as a model to investigate stem cell niche formation, combining genetic tools, confocal imaging, and machine learning-based data analysis. I offer freelance support in: Fluorescence and confocal image analysis (2D and 3D datasets) Segmentation, quantification, and colocalization analysis ML-assisted spatial and molecular pattern analysis ImageJ/FIJI workflow development and optimization Publication-ready figure preparation Statistical analysis and data interpretation (R, Python, Prism GraphPad) Scientific writing and manuscript support I have completed EMBL courses in advanced fluorescence imaging (Heidelberg, 2024) and computational modelling of multicellular systems (Barcelona, 2023), and have published peer-reviewed work with 48 citations. I work independently on complex datasets and communicate results clearly to both specialist and non-specialist audiences. Available for project-based and ongoing collaborations.
