During a three-months practical training at Bundesinstitut für Risikobewertung (BfR), master student Johanna Kusnick from the Institute of Biochemistry and Biology compiled a statistical evaluation of the use of laboratory animals for SARS-CoV-2 research in Germany. This work resulted in a paper in the journal EMBO reports, which was successfully published last week. Johanna Kusnick studies in the master program 'Biochemistry & Molecular Biology' at the University of Potsdam.
