🤝 Twin4Promis is an EU Twinning Project that brings scientists together to collaboratively tackle protein aggregation. The Switch Lab is one of the research groups contributing its expertise and resources to the mission. 🚀 Two years after the project’s launch, we check in to find out how the partnership has progressed and the impact it has had. 💬 "Thanks to the #Twin4Promis project, I had the chance to not only work in a lab abroad, but in the Switch Lab specifically. I’m still excited to have had the opportunity to come here and collaborate with them – it feels surreal, especially after following their groundbreaking work for years." Effie Karyda, a PhD student visiting the Switch Lab through the Twin4Promis initiative.
