Dr Marthe-Susanna Wegner

Adjunct Lecturer
Science
School of Biotech & Biomolecular Science

I studied Biology at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main (Germany) and did my PhD in Pharmacy at the University Clinic Frankfurt am Main. In 2015, I established my research group and currently I am visiting the School of BABS at UNSW.
