🤝Beginning of September, we had the honor to host Prof. Dr. Carlos Gilberto Carlotti Jr, Rector of the USP - Universidade de São Paulo, #Brazil. He visited the Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen to sign another cooperation agreement between the two universities. The new agreement includes the exchange as well as the joint supervision of doctoral students in their #research projects.

Martins & Bettina Weigelin gave the delegation a great overview into the laboratories of the Werner Siemens Imaging Center, including Intravital #Microscopy, PET Scanner and Light-sheet Microscopy. The radiopharmaceutical facilties were also on the agenda where Gerald Reischl gave our visitors an insight into tracer development. Last but not least Liudmila Andreeva, Mara Mitstorfer & Steffen Hardy introduced the visitors from São Paulo to our cell culture labs.
