Biography
"I studied Technical Biology from 1995 to 2002 at the University of Stuttgart, Germany, which spawned my keen and longterm interest in the ubiquitin proteasome system. I carry out my Masters (Diploma) thesis examining the Saccharomyces cerevisiae specific deubiquitinating enzymes Ubp6 in the laboratory of Rohan Baker at the John Curtin School of Medical Research, Canberra, Australia. In 2002, I returned to the workshop with Dieter Wolf, where as a Ph.D. ubiquitin ligase complex and experimentally solved certain aspects of the deubiquitinating enzyme Ubp14. In 2006, I moved to Stockholm, Sweden for postdoctoral studies, and first worked on the function of the ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase UCH-L1 in the laboratory of Maria Masucci at Karolinska Institute. In 2008, I joined the laboratory of Per O. Ljungdahl at Stockholm University, where I focused on the ubiquitin proteasome dependent activation mechanism of the chymotrypsin-like protease Ssy5. Highly conserved putative ubiquitin ligase complex the Gid / CTLH complex."
