Dr. Silke Lohan

Dr. Silke Lohan was born in Berlin and studied biology at the Freie Universität Berlin. In 2013 she completed her dissertation (Dr. rer. nat.) in human genetics. She had worked on her thesis at the Institute of Medical Genetics and Human Genetics, Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Germany and at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics. In October 2013, Dr. Lohan joined the team of the CCP. Her main interest is focused on electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, which she applies in vivo, ex vivo, and in vitro to investigate and assess radical development in tissues and cells with and/ or without stressor application. The radicals can be quantified and characterized. Furthermore, the penetration of nanoparticles and  drug release processes in the skin can be examined.
