Approximately 60 junior researchers and mentors from the natural sciences and medicine came together at this year’s career forum organised by the clinician scientist programme ‘CareerS’ and the medical scientist programme ‘InFlame’. The two days were marked by lively scientific exchange and valuable insight into personal career development.
Nils Marquardt, a doctoral researcher in Medical Science, investigates how individual, moving cells in the body, for example, immune cells, can be visualized and tracked using positron emission tomography. In November, he attended the IEEE Medical Imaging Conference in Japan. In addition to the scientific program, there was also time to experience Japanese culture.
