Lena Lübke
PhD Student
Upcycling of plant-based side streams for use in plant and animal nutritionCV
Lena Lübke studied Nutritional Sciences for bachelor and master studies at Justus-Liebig-University Gießen. In 2022, she wrote her bachelor's thesis at the Department of Molecular Nutrition Research on the molecular effects of vitamin D in the pathogenesis and treatment of Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Afterwards she started her master studies and wrote her thesis in 2025 at the Department of Food Science. In her thesis, she validated a method for the cryopreservation of microorganisms for planar bioassays. Furthermore, she applied this method to analyze fruiting bodies and mycelia of the fungus Pleurotus pulmonarius for various bioactive secondary metabolites. Since October 2025, she works as a doctoral student at the Division Quality and Sensory of Plant Products at Georg-August-University Göttingen. Her research focuses on the upcycling of plant-based side streams for use in plant and animal nutrition.Degrees
