We are very pleased to welcome Dr. Sarah Starosta to our working group. She has been researching and living in America for the last 7 years after doing her PhD at Ruhr- University. More precisely 4 years in New York at the Cold Spring Harbor laboratory and another 3 years at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Her research focus was the effects of cancer on brain function and mental illness. With the help of the DFG returnee grant, Sarah can get a fresh start for her professional future here in Germany. We are happy to give her the opportunity to do this in our laboratory, as we share the interface lies in the interest in the interaction between the immune system and mental illnesses. We look forward to a great cooperation. See more
