Graduation Ceremony 2025 of the Elite Network Bavaria, Erlangen
Research internship in Tromsø, Norway
Dario Neuhaus, one of our students, went for a research stay to Tromsø, Norway.
Besides the development as a young researcher, the intercultural exchange was a great experience.
Best to read his impressions directely on the Elite Netwerk Bavaria Homepage or on the website of the Medical Faculty of the JMU.
Nagasaki University Medical Research Fund Scholarship (NUMF) for Ronny Morawietz (MSc Student)
Ronny Morawietz, one of our MSc students, received the NUMF-scholarship 2025.
He had the chance to study and do research at the Nagasaki University, Japan.
It was an "incredible rewarding experience" (R. Morawietz).

Light o'clock Podcast
The Translational Sensory and Circadian Neuroscience Unit at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics and Technical University of Munich is excited to announce the launch of their new science communication podcast, Light O’Clock. Hosted by Carolina Guidolin, the podcast delves into the fascinating world of chronobiology and how light influences human health and circadian rhythms. In each episode, an expert in the field is invited to discuss how humans process light and its effects on human physiology and behaviour. Season 1 introduces an impressive lineup, and the podcast is gearing up for more seasons ahead.
You don’t want to miss out – all the episodes will be available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts! The first two episodes are already out, and future episodes will be released every other Tuesday. Tune in for enlightening conversations!

Expert Lecture on the 24.06.2021 by Christian Wetzel
Christian Wetzel (Universität Regensburg) talked about mitochondrial malfunction and their involvement in the pathology of major
depression disorder (MDD). Skin fibroblasts derived from patients suffering from major depressive disorder were used to determine the molecular
pathomechanisms of mitochondrial dysfunction e.g. changes in the membrane potential, reduction of the function of the ATP-synthase upon hormonal or metabolic stress.
Expert Lecture on the 06.05.2021 by Ruth Beckervordersanderforth
Dr. Ruth Beckervordersanderforth is an independent group leader at the Institute of Biochemistry, Emil-Fischer-Centre, FAU Erlangen. Since the beginning of her academic career, she has been working on astrocytes. Astrocytes are the major components of the hippocampal neurogenic niche. In the seminar, she discussed recent findings of her group on the determination of candidates of molecular regulators for astrocytes based on their internal morphological heterogeneity.
Expert Lecture on the 22.04.2021 by Beate Winner
Prof. Dr. Beate Winner, Head of the Department of Stem Cell Biology at the University Hospital, FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg, gave a talk about the role of the adaptive immune response in Parkinson’s disease pathogenesis. Within a translational project, they developed an autologous cell culture model using patient-derived and healthy control-derived hiPCS cells which were differentiated into midbrain neurons and corresponding T-lymphocytes from blood cells. IL-17 was identified as an important player in degeneration of midbrain neurons.

MSc "Translational Neuroscience"
Dear colleagues, dear students,
The success of our first Erasmus International Lecture Series in the past semester has not only encouraged us to resume our lecture series in the field of “Translational Neuroscience” but also offer a new lecture series in the field of “Global Health” in the coming summer semester 2021.
We thus invite interested students and staff members alike at your and our universities to attend both virtual lecture series, which are scheduled to run from the end of this March to May 2021.
We are delighted that representatives of our Erasmus partner universities of Caen, Istanbul, Ljubljana, Maribor, Marseille, Olomouc, Pécs, Rome, and Zagreb, as well as our colleagues in Würzburg will share their expertise in their talks within the virtual lecture series on “Translational Neuroscience” and “Global Health”:
We hope that the lecture series will attract your interest and request that you spread this message among your students and teaching staff.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank our partners for working together with us on this wonderful project.
With best wishes,
Prof. Dr. J. Deckert
Autumn School 2019
