Patricia Manko

As Lab manager of the Language Development Department I have to deal with a variety of diverse tasks- from setting up ethical approval, to training lab members in procedures to keeping track of equipment, bookings, budget and planning different outreach activities. What makes my job even more interesting is, that as our research group forms one of the four pillars of the Baby & Child Research Center, I get to work with colleagues from a variety of disciplinary fields in developmental research. 

In March 2020, I also received the opportunity to take on the role of Data Protection Coordinator of the institute. Together with colleagues of different departments, groups, roles and functions, we form the data protection committee, concerning ourselves with creating, maintaining and adapting data protection guidelines for the institute.
