received a degree in Pharmacy from the University of Tübingen, Germany, in 1993. She obtained her PhD in Pharmaceutical Chemistry from the University of Marburg, Germany, in 1997. From 1998-2000, she was a post-doctoral fellow at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, MD, USA, where she became introduced into chemical cross-linking techniques and protein mass spectrometry. After research stays at the Universities of Gießen and Rostock, she became head of a junior research group at the University of Leipzig, Germany (2001-2006). Since 2007, she is Full Professor and head of the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Bioanalytics at the MLU. She is an expert in chemical cross-linking and mass spectrometry for studying protein conformations and protein-protein interactions. Her research interests are the development of novel analytical strategies and reagents to advance the cross-linking/MS approach. From 2017 to 2020, she was president of the German Society for Mass Spectrometry (DGMS). She is the spokesperson of the RTG 2467.
