Education/Qualification:	1976 - 1988 school and extended secondary school 1988  university entrance diploma at "Heinrich Hertz"-school in Berlin (special school for mathe and natural sciences) 1989 - 1994 physics studies at Humboldt - University Berlin 18. 11. 1994 diploma / theme: "Holografic optical elements for use in holographic microscopic interferometrie" 1995 - 2000  doctoral candidate in the departement of  photobiophysics 18. 10. 2000 Ph.D. / theme: "Dendrimers as multipliers in Modular carrier-systems" 2000 -2003 Postdoc in the departement of  photobiophysics since 2004 private lecturer candidate
Research:	My field of interest are Tetrapyrroles in highly structured environments covalent or non-covalent linked to or embedded in carrier-molecules.  My special interest lies on energy transfer to molecular oxygen with respect to Photodynamic Therapy (Treatment of cancer or other deseases with photosensitizers and light). To increase the selectivity of localisation of the sensitizers inside the human body we developed the Modular carrier-system, consisting of an adressor, a multiplier and lots of drugs (dye-molekules). Actually my main attention lies on the use of dendrimers and other nano particles as multipliers in such a complex.
