Description

Daniela Peukert graduated in 2005 as a Bachelor of Engineering in Biotechnology with special expertise in engineering and medical diagnostics. She then worked as a research technician and scientific officer in the lab of Andrew Lumsden at MRC Centre of Developmental Biology (King's College London), where she grew a passion for developmental biology. Daniela did her PhD in the same lab on forebrain patterning in zebrafish embryos and graduated in 2011. After the graduation, Daniela decided to work outside of academia but within science. She had a short position as a recruitment consultant at Seltek Consultants Ltd., Bishop's Strotfort, before she joined Society of Biology in September 2012. Daniela is now Science Policy Officer and describes her work as follows: "Every day involves different tasks; from scientific reading, drafting documents, political discussions, organizing meetings, to social media, web editing and public engagement. I really enjoy this variety!"
