In der Rubrik «5 Minuten mit…» stellen wir Ihnen die Forschenden vor, die mit dem Pädiatrischen Forschungszentrum (PFZ) am UKBB zusammenarbeiten. Dieses Mal hat uns Andrea Marten unsere Fragen beantwortet.
If I wasn't working in research, my dream job would be...
any creative profession - painter, writer, designer - but without the pressure of having to sell something!
I became...
Research Lab Technician / Dipl. Ing. Biotechnologie (FH) / Mädchen für alles im Labor (ausser Kaffee kochen).
What fascinates me about research...
that it always remains exciting and never gets boring.
«In der Forschung wird es nie langweilig.»
I gained my first research experience as a...
Diploma student at a small bioprocess engineering company on the topic: "Immobilisation/encapsulation of cell cultures in a new gel matrix (almost 25 years ago) using the example of hFSH-producing CHO cells".
I would like to solve the following research question...
Utopian, but: I would like to invent "beaming" so that people with a fear of flying can go on holiday to Australia.
In research, I particularly appreciate...
die grosse Abwechslung – immer wieder auf neue Herausforderungen zu stossen und Wege zu finden, sie zu lösen.
Have you already carried out projects with the PFZ or are you currently planning a project with the PFZ...
When it comes to technical laboratory issues, I am always happy to help and advise the PFZ.
My current project is...
ADEQUATE, KIDS-STEP, ALARUM, KidneyCheck...
An meiner aktuellen Tätigkeit mag ich besonders…
dass ich heute noch nicht genau weiss, was morgen auf mich zukommen kann. 😉
«Ich weiss heute nicht, was morgen kommt – das ist gut so.»
I don't like my current job that much...
dass ich heute noch nicht genau weiss, was morgen auf mich zukommen kann. 😞
Who/what inspires me and why...
Da fällt mir nix Passendes ein.
Welchen Ratschlag würde ich selbst meinem 18-jährigen Ich geben…
Geh für ein paar Monate ins englischsprachige Ausland, speichere deine PowerPoint-Präsentation für die Verteidigung nicht nur auf Diskette und kaufe Apple-Aktien!
Wenn ich einen Tag lang mit einem berühmten Wissenschaftler / einer berühmten Wissenschaftlerin zusammenarbeiten könnte, wäre es… und warum?
Ein Physiker wie z.B. Isaac Newton – vielleicht schafft er es, mir die Physik näherzubringen.
What is my favourite type of music to listen to when I want to concentrate on my research work?
Pop and rock music on the oldies station Berliner Rundfunk.
What is important to me...
good co-operation.
On Sunday mornings I like to do...
an extended breakfast + watch the press club afterwards.
What's surprising about me is that...
ich bei Partys oft die Letzte auf der Tanzfläche war (und manchmal noch bin).
The best thing that has happened to me so far in 2024...
that I completed a job that takes at least 6 months in 4 months, because I should have been finished after 2 months & that I was able to leave my comfort zone and go to the F2F meeting in Kilifi (Kenya) together with Malte Kohns and Linda Stamm from the PFZ for ALARUM.
My current wish is...
that I won't have to stumble over too many obstacles in the coming months.
The last book I read to children...
Stories from the Brothers Grimm's book of fairy tales.
I would take the following 3 things with me to a desert island...
Einen Kasten Wasser und Körnerfutter, um erstmal für eine Woche über die Runden zu kommen, bis ich das Buch: „The Island Survival Guide“ fertiggelesen habe und erfolgreich alle Tipps anwenden kann.
