MSc Anna-Carina Mazur

BIO

Anna-Carina completed her BSc degree in Microbiology at the University of Osnabrück (with Prof. Hensel) where she studied the SiiAB and MotAB protein complexes that play a role for Salmonella adhesion and invasion of polarized epithelial cells.

After the successful completion of her BSc, she chose to continue her academic career in a master's program with a focus on Cell and Molecular Biology. For her MSc thesis she joined the group of Dr. Caroline Barisch in September 2021. As a PhD student of the SFB1557 ("functional plasticity encoded by cellular membrane networks") she is currently working on the exiting topic of lipid transfer proteins and how they are exploited by mycobacteria during infection. In October 2023 Anna moved to the CSSB in Hamburg together with the other members of the Barisch lab.
