She has completed 4.5 years of clinical training as a pediatric resident at the Children's Hospital of UMC Mainz. Since 2022, she has worked as a computational physician at the Max-Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine in Berlin, primarily analyzing large clinical studies in cystic fibrosis and preterm microbiome development. To delve deeper into early-life microbial colonization, Rebecca joined the Lynch lab to compile large datasets and develop machine learning algorithms.
To balance her sedentary work life, Rebecca loves outdoor activities, especially skiing, biking, running, and hiking.
