Practical training took place at the Department of Neurophysiology of the University of Tubingen (Germany). “Blended Kurs: ” Integrative Biowissenschaften ” was given by DAAD (Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst – German Academic Exchange Service) for Financing Programs” Ukraine Digital – Studienerfolg in Krisenzeiten sichern».
During a practical training from November to December 2022, PhD students have performed part of the experimental work under the guidance of senior colleagues, in particular: Professor Olga Garashchuk (Director of the Institute of Physiology of Tubingen University (Germany), Professor Volodymyr Lushchak and Professor, Head of the Department of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Maria Bayliak.
