Since 2010 | Postdoc in Peer Bork's group at EMBL, Heidelberg, Germany. |
2006 - 2010 | PhD studies both in Gunnar Rätsch's group and Detlef Weigel's lab on the Max Planck Campus, Tübingen, Germany. |
2003 - 2004 | Undergraduate studies in biology and computer science at Uppsala University, Sweden. |
2000 - 2006 | Undergraduate training as a computational biologist at Tübingen University from which I earned a Diplom in Bioinformatics (Master's equivalent). There, I also worked as a student researcher in Daniel Huson's group. |
