Profile
I completed my mathematics diploma at Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences. While working on my diploma thesis at Roche Diagnostics, I gained experience in the medical field. This motivated me to pursue a Ph.D. in the medical field. During my Ph.D. studies at Heidelberg University, I worked as a research assistant in the Department of Clinical Pharmacology at the Mannheim Medical Faculty, where I supervised numerous projects in the field of oral anticoagulants. Since 2015, I have worked as a biostatistician and lecturer at the Medical Faculty in Mannheim.
Statistical Consulting
It is with great pleasure that I offer statistical support to researchers at the Medical Faculty Mannheim and the University Hospital of Mannheim. The scope of my assistance encompasses the planning of clinical trials, the execution of analyses, and the preparation of publications. I am pleased to offer assistance to individuals engaged in various academic endeavors, including research projects, doctoral dissertations, and postdoctoral fellowships.
