Since June 2021 she is licensed as a pharmacist. In September 2021 she started her PhD project at the University of Tübingen, funded first by a scholarship of the Dr. Hilmer Foundation, and now by a scholarship of the Frankfurt Foundation Quality of Medicines. Her research area is medicine quality in Africa and the development of suitable technologies for medicine quality studies in low- and middle-income countries. From February to July 2024, she temporarily joined the Centre for Tropical Medicine and Global Health of Oxford University, UK, continuing work related to medicine quality in LMICs.
