All talks

Growing Up in Science – Berlin with Prof. Dr. Harald Prüß

Harald Prüß is Professor and Attending Physician in the Department of Neurology at the Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, group leader at the DZNE Berlin and the head of the Experimental Neurology Department at the Charité. His research focuses on the mechanisms of autoantibody-mediated impairment of neuronal function in the context of various types of autoimmune encephalitis. In his talk, he will share what he learned from frustrating setbacks during all career stages, how he has been struggling doing the splits between clinical and laboratory research, and why good mood in the lab (in the meantime) means more to him than good science.
