@BarbaraGrnwald @UniklinikEssen Congratulations 🥳 🥳🥳🥳

I am so excited to share that 3 weeks ago, Grünwald Lab has officially opened its doors🥳 I couldn’t be happier or prouder, these amazing folks already have CAFs & organoids growing like it’s no biggie🤯and thanks to lots of starting aid from our new friends here @UniklinikEssen

Very grateful to receive funding from the Belgian Charcot Foundation for our research on metalloproteases in MS @KU_Leuven. fondation-charcot.org/nl/laureaten/2…

Binnenkort loop ik 20 km door Brussel ten voordele van de Charcot Stichting voor fundamenteel MS-onderzoek in België. Steun mijn actie via deze link! fondationcharcotstichting.koalect.com/project/35810 #MultipleSclerosis #fundraising

CAPTION THIS! 👇👇👇 Fantastic idea @amsocmatbio !

Happy #WomenAndGirlsInScience day! So happy to work with incredibly talented #WomenInScience every day. 👩🏻‍🔬👩🏽‍🔬🧑‍🔬👩🏿‍🔬 #WomenInSTEM
