About Karsten

I am a biochemist with international work experience from three countries and fluency in three languages (DE, EN, SWE). This intercultural perspective allows me to see each challenge from different angles. I have several years of hands-on scientific experience in biochemistry, molecular biology, and experimental design, enabling me to work confidently with data, literature, and complex research topics.
My scientific background has developed my problem-solving skills and ability to analyze complex data while keeping the bigger picture in mind. I am a quick learner who easily adjusts to new challenges and work cultures.
I have extensive experience presenting my work to diverse audiences, tailoring both content and style to the appropriate level. This skill has been recognized with two awards in science communication. As a teacher, I further developed my ability to break down complex topics into clear, engaging content, applying pedagogical principles to make my presentations more impactful.


I am eager to apply my skills in projects such as:
1. Scientific writing and science communication: Reach your audience with clear, accurate, and accessible scientific content
2. Presentation design and training: Receive compelling and insightful presentations
3. Data analysis and visualization: Turn complex datasets into clear insights and meaningful visualizations
4. Educational concepts and training modules: Lifelong learning - lifelong earning
5. Project consultation: Receive expert feedback on experimental design, workflows, and standard operating procedures
5. Developing new approaches: Identify new strategies and approaches to solve scientific or organizational challenges more effectively
7. Literature review: Ensure your work is built on reliable, up-to-date scientific evidence
