On 19 and 20 March, we had the pleasure of welcoming Prof. Doris Heinrich, institute director of iba Heiligenstadt, to our SFB 1270 ELAINE. During her two-day visit, she gained insight into our research by visiting the laboratories of projects A02, A03, B01, C01, C02, and S01. A highlight of her stay was her engaging talk at our IRTG colloquium, which attracted great interest and a large audience.

In-depth discussions focused on common research interests, particularly in the areas of 3D cell culture models, interface functionalisation and microfluidics - key topics being explored at both SFB 1270 ELAINE and iba Heiligenstadt.

We are excited about the many research links identified and look forward to future collaborations with iba Heiligenstadt!
