Christine Appelt

Technical Assistant

After completing my school-based training as a biological-technical assistant, I studied biology at Freie Universität Berlin and graduated with a diploma. Before joining the Sawitzki lab in 2006, I worked in a lab for plant cell and tissue culture (Humboldt Universität zu Berlin), in the department of hematology and oncology (Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin) and in the “Institute for Cellular and Molecular Immunology” (Universitätsmedizin Göttingen (UMG)).
