Dr Angela Sester
About
Angela Sester studied pharmacy at the University of Freiburg and completed her registration as a pharmacist in 2013. With her subsequent diploma in pharmacy at the Berlin Institute of Technology in the laboratory of Prof. Dr. Roderich D. Süssmuth, she embarked on a career in natural products research.
This was followed by a doctorate in Analytical Biochemistry at HKI Jena and TU Dortmund University under Prof. Dr. Markus Nett, where she mainly investigated myxobacteria for new drug classes.
As a postdoc at the TU Dresden with Prof. Dr. Tobias A. M. Gulder, the research focus shifted to the investigation of fungal metabolites and biosynthetic pathways.
Since October 2024, Angela has been working as a scientist in the Natural Product Biotechnology department at HIPS.
