My PhD project is focused on the development of the immune system during aging and should clarify, if there exists a connection between neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's disease and the formation of special antibodies, which are directed against agents that are naturally occuring in the body, so called autoantibodies.
As I am looking for autoantibodies against special brain cells, which could be used as diagnosic tool for Parkinson's disease, I learned how to prepare human brain tissue samples for my studies.
I lived in an international guesthouse and met people from all over the world. Together we experienced Sao Paulo and tried nearly all the Brazilian sweets available. It was a great time. Chicago, United States. Aarse , Janna. Our guests stayed for several days, a time filled with interesting presentations, brainstorming sessions and stimulating discussions.
There we had the chance to present our research to the neuroscience community and attend high-quality talks, as well as meet our guests again, through which we made new contacts with scientists working on related topics. Looking back, this undertaking has been a great way to take first steps onto the platform of international research. Abrolat , Jan Christoph. The conference participation at the World Congress on Industrial Process Tomography allowed the presentation of our research results to a highly specialized international audience.
Furthermore, the participation at the IEEE Sensors enabled the presentation of our results to international scientists working in a broader research area. In summary, the package application allowed for a wide extension of our international research network.
