Caroline Kurth will devote her doctorate to the topic "In vitro characterization of the cortical scattering depolarization in the transgenic mouse model" and will be supervised by Prof. Holger Lerche and Dr. Ulrike Hedrich-Klimosch from the Department of Neurology and Epileptology.

Louise Sophie Maise will research "Targeted inhibition of the tumor microenvironment in experimental glioma models: Analysis of synergistic therapy effects of CD36 inhibition in combination with anti-PD1 and anti-CSF1R immunotherapy and cytotoxic chemotherapy" under the supervision of Prof. Ghazaleh Tabatabai and Hannes Becker from the Department of Neurology and Interdisciplinary Neuro-Oncology.

Both candidates were able to convince the committee and will now receive the Johannes Dichgans doctoral scholarship from the Hertie Institute from April 2022 to March 2023.

We wish both of them great success.
