About me

I am a PhD candidate in the Seeger Lab at the University of Zurich. My research focuses on protein trafficking in the early secretory pathway. I am developing and applying methods based on mass spectrometry, long-read sequencing, and peptide barcoding to study cargo receptors through high-throughput mutational scanning. Additionally, my research interests include single-domain antibodies (nanobodies) and their application in structural biology.
