After six working weeks of my two month internship at the Centre for Skin Research <\/em>in Gothenburg, I want to report about this time.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

First of all, I would like to shortly introduce my employer. The Centre for Skin Research is an interdisciplinary collaboration of different scientific fields, e.g. dermatochemistry, physical and medicinal chemistry and pharmacy.<\/p>\n

I am working at the Biomedicinal Photonics<\/em> research group. They are investigating the topical drug delivery and distribution of drug substances in human skin. The drug substances are fluorescence labeled and are detectable with a two-photon microscopy.<\/p>\n

After two weeks of familiarization with security advices, introductions to the laboratories and the work with human skin and a lot of reading, I started with my research project. \u00a0This is the first time that I am planning and implementing a project on my own and I felt a little bit uncertain before, but I was challenged and excited as well. In my project, I am investigating the diffusion of a drug delivery system in human skin. Therefore, the skin samples are attached in a Diffusion Cell and exposed to the test substance. Afterwards, the samples are prepared for the investigations with two-photon microscopy. On the picture you can see a skin sample, a skin sample in the Diffusion Cell exposed to a test substance on the top and a reprocessed skin sample in an imaging chamber for the two-photon microscopy.<\/p>\n

I am enjoying best support from my supervisor. I always have the possibility to speak with my supervisor or with group members about my project. Furthermore, there are weekly meetings for group discussions, presentations and individual support.<\/p>\n

Recently, I also had the possibility to study the theoretical background in the field of skin research. I attended with my research group the Karlberg symposium and some lectures of a course “Looking skin deep- from molecules to patient” about skin research with well-renowned speakers. This was a unique and important experience for me. I obtained new knowledge and suggestions. \u00a0I also established contacts at the lunch and the dinner.<\/p>\n

The atmosphere at work is harmonic and friendly. Good coexistence and teamwork is important and is cared by rituals like meetings of the whole Centre or fika<\/em> with Swedish cake and coffee. The hierarchies are flat compared to my experience in Germany and even as a student intern I am a full member of the research group.<\/p>\n

In conclusion, my initial uncertainty was without any basis. I am really enjoying the working time. Until now, I gained so many important and interesting insights for my personal and professional development. I am feeling thankful for this opportunity and the experience. Even more am I looking forward to the results of my experiments!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
