New Clinician Scientists: Dr. Mihai Ancau & Dr. Kolja Meier

As part of our Clinician Scientist Programme, we are happy to welcome and support Dr. Mihai Ancau and Dr. Kolja Meier as successful applicants to our TRR274 for the funding year 2022. The Clinician Scientist Programme of the TRR274 is set to sponsor and encourage young medical professionals, who foster a deep interest and drive to participate in the scientific field and do science, to do so in parallel to their medical training. Specifically, clinicians have the opportunity to receive financial aid, protected research time and one on one scientific mentoring from one of our TRR274 PIs.

Dr. Kolja Meier, our newest Early Clinician Scientist applicant, is a resident clinician in the Klinik für Kinder- und Jugendmedizin at the University Medical Center Göttingen and will work under supervision of Prof. Jutta Gärtner, while Dr. Mihai Ancau, part of the Advanced Clinician Scientist Programme, works as a resident at the Department of Neurology at Klinikum rechts der Isar in Munich and will work under supervision of Prof. Thomas Misgeld.
