Qualifications:	

During university education I specialized in molecular biology, protein
biochemistry and especially biophysics, which was animated through 
several seminars at the Max-Planck-Institute for medical research in the
department of Prof. Dr. K. Holmes. Beside two practical courses in the EM
unit of the Max-Planck-Institute, I had the chance to work independently
in the EM unit at the Technical University in Munich in the biophysics 
departement headed by Prof. Dr. Sackmann on the examination of actin 
networks formed in synthetic lipid vesicles by freeze fracturing. I 
finished my first degree with a diploma project in  Dr. Kevin Leonard's
group on structural studies of the troponin-tropomyosin complex of insect
flight muscle that has been continued during PhD work.

In addition I gained experience in a diagnostic laboratory on different
protein detection and quantification methods (ELISA, RIA, Bradford,
SDS-PAGE) as a part time student from 1991-92.
