Her research focuses on bridging cultural studies and biomedical practices through Medical Humanities, emphasizing narrative analysis in clinical contexts. Current work examines WWII trauma narratives from elderly Germans via a clinical study/internet therapy collaboration with the Berlin Center of Torture Victims.

Key areas of expertise include the history of emotions, ethics in medical practice, and the intersection of trauma studies with biomedical research. Collaborations involve psychologists and clinicians to explore narrative-based approaches to post-traumatic stress disorder.
