I am a Neuropathologist and Myopathologist and board certified in general Neurology and in Neuropathology. Currently I am the head of the neuromuscular diagnostic and research unit in Berlin at the Charité Hospital. I am also the co-Director of the German reference center of Neuromuscular diseases. My primary research interest is in juvenile and adult Myositis, where we analyze pathogenesis, pathogenicity of autoantibodies, cancer association and the role of different immune cells. In addition, I am an Associate Editor of the journal Neuromuscular disorders, and an Executive Editor for Neuropathology and applied Neuropathology.
