Rebecca attended Medical School at the University Medical Center of the Johannes-Gutenberg University Mainz in Germany. She completed her Medical Doctoral Thesis through a joint project with the pediatric immunology and infectiology department at Mainz and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg, focusing on the gut microbiome in children with inflammatory bowel disease.

She has completed 4.5 years of clinical training as a pediatric resident at the Children's Hospital of UMC Mainz. Since 2022, she has worked as a computational physician at the Max-Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine in Berlin, primarily analyzing large clinical studies in cystic fibrosis and preterm microbiome development. To delve deeper into early-life microbial colonization, Rebecca joined the Lynch lab to compile large datasets and develop machine learning algorithms.

To balance her sedentary work life, Rebecca loves outdoor activities, especially skiing, biking, running, and hiking.
