What motivates us to be in science?
„Science is our only tool to unravel the parts of reality that we do not know about. I love the feeling of being the one who discover even the smallest piece of it. And if there is even a smallest chance, that my small discovery will help people, I will be doing science forever. That is what motivates me.“
Krzysztof Mrowiec
„What drives me in science is the opportunity to contribute to transformative therapies that alleviate the burdens of neurological diseases and the excitement of exploring uncharted territories. I deeply value the freedom that academic research provides, allowing me to pursue my specific interests and make meaningful contributions to the field.“
Michaela Hörner
„I am motivated to be in science from my very young age, for the sheer curiosity of my ‘what and why’ for biomedical sciences, which has now taken a translational voice for those with the rarest of the diseases.“
Kalaivani Manibarathi
„My research is driven by intellectual curiosity as well as the endeavor to develop novel therapeutic options in neurodegenerative diseases.“
Erik Jung
„Science offers the chance to explore and gain knowledge about any topic that piques my curiosity. Additionally, I am driven by the desire to apply my research to healthcare, ultimately helping people. This combination of discovery and impact motivates my passion for science.“
Ingrid Kolen
„I love learning and understanding and am highly curious about various topics. In science, I can satisfy this curiosity and learn about new, exciting and cutting-edge developments in different fields.“
Lukas Scheiderer
„Science is essential for comprehending not only nature itself but also human beings, the etiology of diseases, and consequently, their treatment. To attain a profound understanding of life-as-we-know-it, I employ an interdisciplinary approach that synthesizes insights from across diverse scientific fields, with the aim of combining the knowledge of astrophysics and medicine.“
Aaron Jeremia Maas
„What motivates me to pursue a career in science is the drive to better understand the complex mechanisms of the human organism. By placing a strong focus on research during my medical education, I hope to be able to contribute to advancements in medical science that improve patient care and deepen our knowledge of the underlying mechanisms of health and disease.“
Adam Pollok
„With our research I would like to contribute to improve our understanding of neurodegenerative diseases and to promote the translation of novel new scientific insights into clinical practice, especially with regard to patients with rare neurological diseases.“
