About

Between July 21st and August 1st, I visited the Gassen Lab at University Hospital Bonn. During my stay, I exchanged knowledge extensively with the lab members and actively participated in analyzing changes in the autophagic pathway in tissue samples from animal models of stress, using the lab's established analysis pipeline.

This training significantly deepened my understanding of the interplay between autophagy and stress regulation and will directly support the implementation of similar methodologies at Łukasiewicz – PORT.

The experience was not only scientifically enriching but also an important step toward strengthening collaboration with PI Gassen, coordinator of the AutoHealth project.

✨FunFacts✨

Bonn is the birthplace of Ludwig van Beethoven 🎼🎶🎼 and also where the world-famous candy brand Haribo was founded 🍭🍬🍭 Its name comes from the founder HAns RIegel from BOnn.

This visit was possible thanks to the financial support from the SAME-NeuroID project, for which I am truly grateful.
