Regine’s first degree was in Latin and English from the University of Trier in Germany (1991-8), to which she added an examination in Greek a year later. As part of this degree, she studied at Jesus College Oxford for one year (1994/5), and then went back to Corpus Christi College Oxford for her DPhil (1998-2001).
Professionally, she has held positions as lecturer in both Latin and Greek in Manchester (2001-3) and Durham (2003/4), and enjoyed two years as a Fellow in Classical Languages and Literature at Merton College, Oxford (2004-6), before joining the Classics Department at Leeds in September 2006.

She has published a book on Apuleius’ use of Roman comedy, tragedy and mime with OUP, entitled: Apuleius and Drama: The Ass on Stage (Oxford 2006), and a lemmatised concordance on Cornelius Nepos in two volumes for Olms in Germany: Cornelii Nepotis Vitarum Concordantia. Hildesheim 2006. In addition to that, she has written several articles on dramatic intertextuality in Apuleius, women in the ancient novels and Greek comedy, and short articles on ancient medicine.
