We are delighted to welcome Rudi Oebser to the team, as our newest Master’s student!

Rudi completed his bachelor in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the Friedrich Schiller University Jena. During his Bachelor’s thesis he investigated protein-protein interactions involving cytoskeleton-associated proteins. There he focussed on identifying their molecular interaction sites.

He is currently pursuing his Master’s degree in Biochemistry, where he developed interest in spectroscopic techniques and their application in biomedical research. Through a collaboration with the Hans-Knöll-institute, he became interested in the identification of volatile organic compounds to potentially identifying sepsis marker as well as pathogen-specific signatures of intensive care patients at an early stage. 

Outside the lab, he enjoys road cycling, running and hiking.
