Constanze Asenbaum

Skilled in utilizing modern laboratory techniques and equipment, I apply my practical expertise to deliver precise and reliable results. I am committed to staying up-to-date with the latest scientific developments, especially in the areas of medicine and health. My passion for nutritional medicine drives me to develop and implement scientifically grounded solutions for promoting health and well-being.

I have gained extensive experience in various roles, most recently as a Working Student in Medical Education, where I have been employed since August 2023. In this position, I support the Medical Education team by creating evidence-based texts, scripts, and graphics. My work also involves conducting comprehensive literature research, ensuring that all content is logical and backed by appropriate evidence. I manage a centralized reference database, evaluate product tests, and write newsletters and social media posts. Additionally, I am responsible for proofreading scripts to ensure accuracy and clarity.

Prior to this, I worked  from December 2017 to March 2023 as a Working Student in Quality Management. In this role, I gained valuable experience in quality management, complaint handling, and document management. I was responsible for maintaining and editing documents within the Document Management System (DMS) and played a key role in creating and editing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). I also assisted in preparing for and supporting the execution of both internal and external audits.

Earlier in my career, I worked as a Sales Assistant from January to November 2017. During this time, I developed strong customer service skills while selling shoes, bags, and accessories, and contributed to the store’s interior design and decoration.

My journey into the professional world began with an internship at Leibniz University Hannover in January 2013, where I had the opportunity to assist PhD students and scientists with their daily lab work. I also contributed to setting up experiments and conducted small independent experiments, gaining early exposure to scientific research.

I am currently pursuing a Master of Science in Nutrition and Biomedicine at the Technical University of Munich, a program I began in 2022. This international program combines human biology with nutritional science and medicine, aiming to develop interdisciplinary solutions to contemporary health and disease challenges. My master's thesis, titled *"The impact of E. coli-associated curli protein on mouse intestinal and systemic B-cells"*, explores the interaction between gut microbiota and the immune system, reflecting my keen interest in microbiome research and immunology.

Prior to this, I earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, where I studied from 2018 to 2021. My degree provided me with a solid foundation in various areas of biology, with a particular focus on biochemistry, neurobiology, evolutionary biology, and cell biology. I completed my bachelor's thesis on *"Generation of Morc3 mutant rescue cell lines and characterization of their impact on ERV silencing and Morc3 target gene regulation"*, which allowed me to delve deeper into molecular biology and gene regulation.

Before transitioning to biology, I studied Chemistry and Biochemistry at Ludwig Maximilian University from 2015 to 2018. Although I did not complete this program, it provided me with important insights into chemical and biochemical principles that later informed my studies in biology.

I earned my A-levels (German university entrance qualification) in 2015 from Wilhelm-Raabe-Schule in Hannover. This qualification laid the groundwork for my academic pursuits, particularly in the natural sciences.
