Dear DRS Biomedical Sciences participants,

The DRS now requires each program to implement an independent ombudsperson who is in charge of helping in conflicts between graduate students and the mentors / mentoring teams. Issues of good scientific practice are explicitly excluded: in such cases the persons in charge at the Fachbereiche are responsible and should be contacted.

The two new ombudspersons of the DRS Biomedical Sciences Program are:

Univ.-Prof. Dr. Mahtab Bahramsoltani
