Research Associate (PhD and Postdoc.) Department Systems Biology of Signal Transduction • Genome-wide analysis of the Epo and TGFβ induced responses by Next Generation Sequencing and Microarray Analysis in CFU-E and BaF3-EpoR cells• Investigated molecular mechanisms of erythropoietin (Epo)-mediated cellular decisions in the hematopoietic system• Evaluated the anti-proliferative effects of different inhibitors / anti-cancer drugs affecting PI3K/Akt and Ras/Erk pathways • Established combined models of PI3K/Akt and Ras/Erk pathways, to link them to gene regulation as well as finally coordinate physiological responses such as proliferation, survival and differentiation• Coordinated the cooperation with different partners in Mannheim, Freiburg, Heidelberg and Beijing• Supervised Bachelor and Master students during practical and tutorial courses • Assisted in the coordination of student practicums and laboratory organization

Research Assistant Department of Epigenetic Regulation • Integrated the minigenes into predefined genomic loci by RMCE • Investigated the dependence of alternative splicing pattern on nuclear matrix association elements

Research Assistant Institute of Biochemical Engineering • Cultivated the autotrophic biofilms in external-loop airlift reactors• Measured the oxygen concentration profiles in the particle supported biofilms

• Engaged in separation and detoxification of viruses • Facilitated the preparation and phase I clinical study of varicella vaccine
