My life/work motto

Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning how to dance in the rain.

My research

Studies on the regulation of steroid hormones and sexual development and its variants in humans. Molecular genetic and translational research projects in this field of rare and common diseases.

My particular skills/experiences

Balancing act between laboratory research and clinical work (“bench and bed”). I can read steroid profiles, but not sewing patterns. Team and working group leadership. (Inter)national networking.

My measures to promote diversity

Open door policy and mentoring for everyone

My recommendations for young female researchers on the academic career path

Nothing is impossible! Because where there's a will, there's a way.
