🔬𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭 𝐚𝐭 𝐈𝐂𝐎𝐍 Last week, the AIM Connect batch visited 𝐈𝐂𝐎𝐍 (Interfaculty Center for Endocrine and Cardiovascular Disease Network Modeling and Clinical Transfer) at LMU Munich. We were hosted by PD Dr. med. Sebastian Clauss, Managing Director and Scientific Coordinator of the center, who took us on a tour of the facilities and walked us through the mission of ICON and the research it will be pursuing. One of the highlights was learning about the role of large animal models - particularly pigs - in cardiopulmonary research. Their physiological similarity to humans makes them invaluable for translational research, and Dr. Clauß gave us a compelling case for why dedicated research centers like ICON are essential for this kind of work to happen. ✨𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐃𝐫.
