I am motivated by generating knowledge and unique contributions to science. The most rewarding part of the process are the rare Eureka moments, whether they are ideas born out of the constant intellectual challenge or initial experimental findings validating our working hypothesis.

My ISSCR membership gives me a sense of belonging. The society is my port of call for all my collaboration and networking needs. Webinars and online resources provide help to stay on top of recent advancements in the field. Finally, the ISSCR annual meetings are an important stage where to showcase our latest research, connect with peers and learn about new technologies.

What truly thrills me about our work is how our curiosity leads to discoveries that open the door to novel tools and methodologies, broadening our understanding of the natural world in ways previously unimaginable.

To see the [ISSCR 2024 Annual Meeting] back in Europe is a great news. Especially since Hamburg is very close to Berlin. In fact, the ISSCR 2024 [meeting] will be our lab retreat and we are planning several “team building” activities. So, this should be fun. I also look forward to reconnect with friends and collaborators and to hear great science.
