Sodeik was an undergraduate student in the University of Bonn, where she studied biology. She earned a Diploma in Cell Biology, where she analysed autophagy in Amoeba proteus.[1] After graduating, she received a DAAD scholarship, and moved to the Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons.[1] During her time at Columbia, Sodeik worked on integrin receptors of human neutrophils. She was a doctoral student in cell biology at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg University. Her research considered the assembly of the Vaccina virus (cowpox).[2] After earning her doctorate, Sodeik returned to the United States, where she joined Ari Helenius at Yale University. At Yale, Sodeik studied the early phases of Herpes simplex virus.[1]
Sodeik was made a Senior Scientist at Hannover Medical School in 1997. She completed her habilitation in the cell biology of DNA viruses and the maturation of Vaccinia.[3] She was eventually promoted to Professor.[when?][citation needed] Since starting her postdoctoral research, Sodeik has explored the cell biology of Herpes simplex virus.[4] She is interested in virus-host interactions, virus assembly and viral replication.[1]
