How long do you want to wait before knowing whether your food product is safe? How long before knowing which bacteria is causing you problems? How long to find the right antibiotic treatment?

Current methods to identify bacteria are very limited and usually take up to several days. We believe that this needs to be changed. Therefore, at NanoStruct we are developing a method that bends the current time limit by far and can identify bacteria within hours, in some cases even minutes.

I strongly believe that with our technology we can help people to reach a healthier and safer life which is why I co-founded NanoStruct as CEO.

About myself:

I am passionate about entrepreneurship, startups, innovation and science.

I am
• Entrepreneur – because taking responsibility is the basis for success, happiness and freedom
• Scientist – because understanding how things work is the first step towards progress and positive changes
• Communicator – because communication brings people together and lets them work as one team
• Fitness addict - because mental and physical health go hand in hand

As CEO of NanoStruct GmbH I fulfill my longtime dream of bringing scientific advancements to the people who need them, of taking the responsibility to do the right things with our knowledge and of being the leader of a brilliant and growing team.

As a speaker I share my experience and motivation for building your own company and taking responsibility for yourself and others.

As a role model I hope to inspire other women to independently fulfill their dreams.
