But this is no topic for this research report. There is also the research field biochemistry – with a remarkable partnership between both universities.
To bridge 7,500 kilometer is not difficult for Prof. Dr. Annette Beck-Sickinger and Prof. Dr. Jens Meiler (Vanderbilt University). Sometimes they feel more like neighbors. “We work extremely well together,” says the Leipzig professor at the Institute of Biochemistry. More than 20 joint publications have appeared since 2008, emerged from around 30 joint projects. 40 PhD students have participated in the exchange program between Leipzig and Vanderbilt, not to mention various symposia and summer schools.
