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. He shares his impressions in this guest contribution.
This year, our Christmas bauble features a stunning firework display of immune cells. Researchers in our network use imaging techniques to reveal what is normally hidden from view and study how cells in organisms behave. We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
As the year draws to a close, we are pleased to share highlights from our cell dynamics and imaging research community and to update you on our network’s activities. We look forward to more fruitful interactions and to working together in the new year!
In our videos, scientists provide multifaceted insight into their research and everyday work. They talk about current research questions, their new findings and how these findings were generated. They also talk about their personal motivations, the experiences they have had while on their career path and the framework of the scientific system. The videos are in either English or German and many of them have subtitles available in both languages.
