PhD Student Physics in Life Science


Welcome!

Hi there! I am a Doctoral student at the Max Planck Center for Physics and Medicine. My research goal is to optimize personalized evolutionary-based therapies. I model the growth of solid tumors and microbial biofilms and study how mechanical cell-cell interactions impact the evolution of drug resistance. In my current project I focus on understanding the fundamental principles of tumor growth and evolution and applying them for treatment optimization.
