MSc Danica Müller
BIO
Danica completed her BSc in the division of Zoology at the University of Osnabrück with Prof. Purschke. Her thesis was focused on the bioluminescence in marine annelids. She decided to continue her studies in the master's programme at the University of Osnabrück after successfully completing her BSc and joined the division of Molecular Infection Biology in November 2022. The development of a novel macrophage/M. marinum model system is the focus of her master's thesis.

Stevanus pursued his MSc thesis at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) where he enrolled in the Biotechnology program in 2017. During his master thesis, he worked under the supervision of Prof. Ákos T. Kovacs and studied the interaction between Bacillus subtilis with multiple fungal species and the potential of using the bacteria as a biocontrol agent. The master project was awarded with the Novo Scholarship in 2019 and he was given the opportunity to present his work at Novozymes A/S. In 2020, Stevanus started his PhD in the Barisch lab to study lipid trafficking during mycobacteria infection using the Dictyostelium-M. marinum model system. To this end, he uses tools such as lipidomics, TLC, live cell confocal microscopy and click-chemistry. He changed subject from environmental microbiology to host-pathogen interactions to broaden his knowledge and skills. In September 2023 Stevanus successfully defended his PhD. He started a postdoc in the lab of Dr Michał Wasilewski (https://imol.institute).

Edwin completed his BSc already in the Molecular Infection Biology division at the University of Osnabrück . The subject of his thesis was lipid transfer by VPS13 proteins and their possible role in mycobacterial infection. After completing his BSc, he continued his academic career in a master's program at the University of Osnabrück with a focus on Cell and Molecular Biology. For his MSc thesis, he re-joined the group of Dr. Caroline Barisch in January 2022. His current project deals with the development of a pipeline to monitor the impact of lipid-related drugs on mycobacteria infection. In summer 2023 Edwin defended & submitted his MSc thesis. He is now working for the Hartmann GmbH as Quality Manager.

Iris obtained her BSc in Biomedical Sciences at the University of Reutlingen with the focus on disease modeling. Following this, she worked at the Max-Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine (Berlin) with Dr. Mina Gouti. There, she used pluripotent stem cells to model the development and diseases of the neuromuscular system. After two years, she decided to join the master program for Biology, with specialization on Molecular and Cell Biology at the University of Osnabrück where she joined the group of Dr. Caroline Barisch in October 2019. In her master thesis Iris identified putative interaction partners of host lipid transfer proteins in non-infected cells. Iris is now working for ProBioGen AG as Research And Development Scientist.

During her bachelor thesis at the division of Biophysics at the University of Osnabrück, Deise investigated the exciting idea of using magnetic nanoparticles to influence the body's own processes (for example to produce gradients to direct the growth of nerve cells).
To this end, she worked on the surface functionalization of magnetic nanoparticles to establish the right conditions for a cellular application. She microinjected the magnetic nanoparticles into HeLa cells and adjusted the nanoparticles to allow their free distribution within the cells without aggregation.
After the completion of her BSc in Biology at the University of Osnabrück, she decided to further specialize herself in Cell and Molecular Biology and started her MSc project in the Barisch lab working on lipid transfer proteins and their role in infection. Deise established the protein purification pipeline in the Barisch lab. She is now working for the BA-Unternehmensgruppe (Quality Control Microbiology) in Ibbenbühren.
