PD Dr. Marc Himmelbach, new head of the Graduate Training Center of Neuroscience, was welcomed as a new member in the steering board.

Since June 1st , 2019, PD Dr. Marc Himmelbach heads the Tübingen Graduate Training Center of Neuroscience (GTC). He succeeds Prof. Dr. Horst Herbert, who has built up the graduate school since 1999. The GTC currently offers three master's programs in the field of neuroscience. It has around 85 students and more than 240 doctoral students. Expanding the training and continuing education offers for doctoral students and postdocs is one of Himmelbach's goals. He also wants to reach students of human medicine to a greater extent again. "The GTC is still a true pioneer model that really lives the idea of interfaculty education in the neurosciences."
