Kim Polenz
Kim Nguyen obtained her Bachelor’s degree in Biology from the Freie Universität Berlin and went on to study Molecular Life Science with emphasis on Microbiology at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.
During her Master’s theses she already started her research on molecular mechanisms in the control of bacterial biofilm formation at the laboratory of Prof. Dr. Regine Hengge.
In 2016, Kim began to work as a Research Associate and PhD student of the Hengge Lab where she currently focusses on the development and regulation of the three-dimensional architecture of Escherichia coli macrocolony biofilms. She will continue her research at the project Weaving.
