Lorraine Weidner (M.Sc.) is a research assistant/doctoral student in the Department of Neuropathology at the University Hospital Regensburg under the supervision of Prof. Dr. med. Markus J. Riemenschneider. She is in the 4th year of her PhD and will complete it in the upcoming year. With her acquired expertise embedded in the DFG-funded (FOR2858) TSPO study, she was able to successfully evaluate TSPO as an imaging marker in gliomas on a histological, cellular and molecular level. She is currently in the process of making the innovative findings available to a broader public in form of a first-author publication and has already been able to present those findings in form of a talk at Neurowoche 2022. This is her first time in the U.S., so she is looking forward to the stimulating thematic discourse with international experts and to immerse herself in the American culture.
