That was the starting point for our collaboration 2 years ago’, said Professor Dirk Dressler, Head of Hannover Medical School Movement Disorder Section. ‘So far, we had an excellent start. We published several pivotal papers together and one of Professor Jin’s young doctors is now finishing her doctoral thesis with us’, so Dressler.

We will be part of this change and we will take advantage of these new opportunities’ said Dressler.
