On January 31, 2024, we celebrated an important milestone in the academic career of one of our young scientists: PD Dr. Johann Matschke, Principal Investigator of the RTG 2762 and junior research group leader in the Jendrossek group at the Institute of Cell Biology (Cancer Research), received the venia legendi certificate for cell biology.In his inaugural lecture, he gave a general introduction to metabolic changes as characteristics of cancer cells and then gave an outlook on possibilities for their utilization in cancer treatment, including his own research results. The habilitation certificate (venia legendi), which symbolizes his academic achievements, was presented to him by Prof. Dr. Anke Hinney, Vice Dean for Young Scientists and Diversity. The lecture was attended by numerous guests, including colleagues, friends and members of the scientific community who have supported PD Dr. Matschke along the way. We are very proud of PD Dr. Matschke’s accomplishments and honored to have witnessed this remarkable milestone in his career. Congratulations, Johann, on your well-deserved recognition and for setting a shining example in the pursuit of excellence in cancer research.
