Intensive cooperation between all partners in a network is essential to drive science forward. Therefore, within the SFB/TRR219, basic scientists and clinicians from the RWTH Aachen University and Saarland University-Campus Homburg engage in bimonthly science meetings to discuss scientific progress within the consortium. Novel scientific questions that arise are being tackled in a joint approach through intensive cooperations and knowledge exchange, and samples are being exchanged for joint analyses. Because only together, we will bring this forward!
