+ Diana has a Diploma in Physics from the University of Bucharest, Romania,
+ and a Ph.D. from Rutgers University, within the interdisciplinary BioMaPs program
+ (Biology, Mathematics, and Physics). In her doctoral work she was supervised by Prof. Joel Lebowitz,
+ a renowned expert in Mathematical Physics, and Prof. Monica Driscoll, distinguished for her contributions
+ to Molecular Biology and Biochemistry. Subsequently, she held postdoctoral positions at ENS-Paris, France,
+ and UCL- Brussels, Belgium. Prior to joining Christian’s group at ICB- Helmholtz Zentrum, she held
+ research positions at MPI for Biochemistry, LMU & LGL-Bayern. Her research pursuits are aimed at
+ unraveling fundamental biological processes through the use of statistical and bioinformatic methods,
+ complemented by physics-inspired mathematical modeling. Her work has included analyzing sequencing data
+ for aging research, developing models for epigenetic features, and studying protein interactions.
+ Her current focus is on the ocean's microbiome and its environmental interactions, aiming to uncover
+ their impact on health and biological systems as well as identify the microbiome signature on human
+ health by using various machine-learning approaches.
+
In her spare time, she enjoys hiking, jogging kickboxing,
+ and cross-country skiing. She also likes to tackle philosophical problems within the foundational
+ aspects of physics and metaphysics of science and regularly attends seminars and conferences on
+ such subjects.

Graduate Student, Institue of Statistics LMU
Roberto studied Genomic Sciences at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).
Before joining our group, he worked with
Dr. Robert Schneider
analyzing high-throughput experiments in order to dissect the effect of glucose starvation on cis-regulatory elements in human liver cells.
- Broadly speaking, Roberto is very interested in the subject of antibiotic resistance and its intersection with microbial ecology.
- He makes use of high-throughput datasets to make new insights into the bacterial response to stress, particularly at the transcriptional level.
- He is very much at home with bioinformatics and the creation of pipelines and is currently expanding his statistical abilities.

In our group, he is responsible for the
StressRegNet project.
In his free time, Roberto enjoys cycling, bouldering, and playing soccer.
