After her Abitur in 2015, she spent three months at the Centre for Integrated Oncology (CECAD) at the Cologne University Hospital with a scholarship on her project and another three months at the German Aerospace Centre (DLR) researching at the Institute for Materials Physics. She studied chemistry at LMU Munich from 2016-2021 and completed her Bachelor’s thesis “Towards a prodrug-modified 2’3’-cyclic di-adenosine monophosphate analogue” in the group of Prof. Thomas Carell. During her master’s studies, she joined the group of Prof. Peter Klüfers, researching on chromium-nitrosyl complexes and she completed an internship at Bayer Pharmaceuticals in Wuppertal, synthesising L-α-amino acids for solid-phase peptide synthesis. She was awarded the national scholarship “Deutschlandstipendium”. In 2021, she worked in the Nitschke group in Cambridge as a visiting student, completing master’s thesis project “Towards low-symmetry coordination cages”, funded by the “Prosa LMU” scholarship. Charlotte joined the Knowles group in January 2022 as a PhD candidate, working on modulators of liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS). In her free time, Charlotte enjoys photography or painting and above all, a cup of coffee with her friends.
