Katharina Schulenburg

PhD student

 

Katharina studied at the Radboud University in Nijmegen (NL) where she obtained a B.Sc. in Molecular Life Sciences. She obtained her Masters degree at the Friedrich-Wilhelm University in Bonn where she took part in an international Neurosciences Master program. In September 2013 she joined the Group of Krishna Rajalingam as a Phd student. Currently she is involved in two research project. One is concerned with the role of XIAP in neuronal differentiation. The other one is a part of a transregional collaboration (SFB TR-128) concerned with multiple sclerosis to study how a certain subset of immune cells (TH17 cells) interact and promote cell death in neurons.
