Copyright: Anna-Katharina Junge New research and training program launched in June In June 2023 a new international research and education program between MHH and Auburn University (Alabama U.S.) started. The project is focused on process development for cell and tissue manufacturing and brought five students for two month to MHH. Building on ongoing collaborative research, this program is led by Dr. Elizabeth Lipke, principal investigator at Auburn University and Dr. Robert Zweigerdt, principal investigator at MHH along with co-investigators Dr. Ina Gruh, Dr. Ruth Olmer, Dr. Nico Lachmann and Dr. Stefan Kalies. In total, the project will bring 15 visiting student researchers from Auburn to MHH over the next three years. This collaborative initiative was made possible by competitive International Research Experiences for Students (IRES) grant funding acquired from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF). Critical need for well-educated engineers, scientists, and clinicians.
