Diabetes Type 1: How Does Friendly Fire Happen in the Pancreas?

25. October 2016

In type 1 diabetes, the body attacks its own insulin-producing cells. Scientists at Helmholtz Zentrum München, partner in the German Center for Diabetes Research, and their colleagues at Technical University of Munich have now reported in the journal ‘PNAS’ about a mechanism used by the immune system to prepare for this attack. They were able to inhibit this process through targeted intervention...

Down-Under by Bastian Knorr, IGÖ

24. September 2015

In my graduate student project I investigate the influence of immobile water regions on the fate of contaminants in groundwater. It is supervised by Prof. Maloszewski, head of the Hydrological Modelling group, and co-supervised by Dr. Stumpp, head of the Hydrogeology group, at the Institute of Groundwater Ecology. The outcomes of some of my laboratory column experiments were not what we expected...
