DIANA PAULY

PROF. DR. RER. NAT.

Immunologist by training
Research manager and mentor by duty

I studied humanbiology at the University in Greifswald. For my PhD and first postDoc years I enjoyed Berlin and joined the research community at the Robert Koch-Insitute. I got in touch with experimental ophthalmology during my time at the university of Regenburg.

JULIANE SCHIKORA

M.SC.

Doctoral student

I studied Molecular Medicine at the University of Regensburg and got in touch with ophthalmology while working on age-related macular degeneration during my bachelor studies. Especially the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) caught my interest, so I happily took the opportunity to work in Prof. Pauly’s lab. In my current project I research the maturation of the RPE and the role of the complement system in this process.

AARON DORT

Biological technical assistant

I made my abitur with focus on biotechnology in Gießen. Afterwards I completed my professional education as BTA at the Adolf-Reichwein school in Marburg. Then I started working in the molecular oncology (IMO) at the Philipp-University of Marburg since I joined the Pauly laboratory as technical assistance in the SciFiMed-project.
