I wanted to contribute to solving the problems posed by infectious diseases and did my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in chemistry at the University of Dschang, Cameroon...."

Meet one of our fellows at Bielefeld University, Vanessa Charnele Tsafack (UDs), and get an insight into her work, her motivation in engaging in natural products research and the way she feels in Bielefeld. Link to her interview below 👇

👩‍🔬 Vanessa Charnele Tsafack interessiert sich für pflanzliche Medizin, die zur Behandlung von Infektionskrankheiten wie Cholera, Lungenentzündungen und Tuberkulose eingesetzt wird. Für ihre Promotion erforscht sie mit der YaBiNaPa Graduate School in den Laboren der Uni Bielefeld die antimikrobiellen Eigenschaften von Bäumen aus Sub-Sahara-Afrika.
