Invited Speakers

I initiated the following seminars in Munich to get more insight into my current scientific fields of organ-specific metastasis, chemokine triggering of integrins and measurement of cell adhesion receptors on a molecular level in living cells. I'm very thankful to all sponsors of these individual events (LMU, Applied Physics // SFB456 // TU-Munich, Pathology) - and recently University of Miami (Physiology/Biophysics)
