Computational & wet-lab immunologist · T cell & NK cell biology · Immuno-oncology · Single-cell multi-omics
Postdoctoral Researcher · University Hospital Bonn, Germany
Immunologist with 6+ years of postdoctoral experience across tumour immunology, viral immunity, and translational immuno-oncology. I pair wet-lab expertise in human primary tissue and genetic engineering with independent, end-to-end single-cell and spatial multi-omics analysis — from raw sequencing on HPC through to publication figures. My focus is the biology of cytotoxic lymphocytes and advancing NK/T cell therapy strategies from discovery to the clinic.
🔬 Open to industry roles in immuno-oncology and cell therapy across the EU and Australia.
