Angela completed her B.Sc. in Biochemistry at the Georg-August-University in Goettingen, Germany, and her M.Sc. in Biochemistry at the Ruprecht-Karls-University in Heidelberg, Germany. Her Master's research conducted at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research focused on the computational characterisation of electron transfer in Drosophila melanogaster cryptochrome. Continuing research on the wider subject of magnetoreception, she started her DPhil studies at Corpus Christi College in October 2019, being jointly supervised by Justin Benesch and Peter Hore. In her thesis she analysed the nature of oligomers and conformational changes of avian cryptochromes 4, the putative magnetoreceptors allowing avian long-distance navigation, and their interactions with downstream interaction partners using a mix of native MS, molecular dynamics, EPR and HDX-MS, with a focus on the latter. She finished her Dphil in 2024 and moved on to a postdoc position in France.
