My special university moment in 2023
13 December 2023
There are many things that have moved staff and students at the University of Münster this year. In the annual review in the university newspaper wissen|leben, twelve people describe some events which they found moving this year. One of them is the physician and researcher Dr. Ariana Plasger, who received funding in the Faculty of Medicine’s clinician scientist programme, CareerS. You can read about her special university moment here.

This year I was especially pleased to have been accepted for the Clinician Scientist programme “CareerS” at Münster University. In the summer, I returned from a research stay in the United States and began my further training as a doctor specialising in gynaecology and obstetrics at Münster University Hospital. Training as a clinician scientist gives me an opportunity to follow up my projects in the US and continue my research into tumour environments in breast cancer, incorporating into my training as a specialist the knowledge I gained thematically and in methodology. I was given a warm welcome in the laboratory in my clinic, and I found new colleagues and made new friends on the CareerS programme. It’s not only the scientific discussions that fascinate and influence me in research work, but also especially the cultural exchanges: as part of an international team, I learn something new every day – and not only in my specialist field.
