I am a clinical neurologist at the University Hospital Bonn and an affiliated research associate at the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE). In both research and in clinical practice, I focus on the discovery of biomarkers and explanation of pathological patterns through mathematical models in neurodegenerative diseases. Being a translational neuroscientist, I create a link between problems that are brought up by clinicians and answers given by basic scientists.
