Today, I am proud to share that my PhD thesis with the title “Cell-cycle-dependent gene regulation by Mcm1p-complexes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae” has been accepted, and my Ph.D. (Dr. rer. nat.) has been granted by the Leibniz University of Hannover, Germany. Between 1994 and today, I had the opportunity to do basic oncological research on the genetic regulation of the cell growth at the Institute for Molecular Biology at the Hannover Medical School. I was using yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) as model organism for eukaryotic cells, which on molecular level share many commonalities. My scientific research was specifically targeting a better understanding…

I successfully completed my master in biology (Dipl.-Biol.) with a specialization on microbiology, genetics and biochemistry, Within the scope of my master thesis, I had the amazing opportunity to actively contribute to the sequencing and analysis of the first full genome of an eukaryotic organism, Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker’s or brewer’s yeast). Which is an EU-funded projects with labs from all over Europe working together. As a result, I had the honor getting a co-author of the scientific publication of the results (which is quite uncommon for master theses). READ MORE … Miosga et al.
