The Lengefeld laboratory is working on understanding how the failure to regenerate tissue with age is a major health issue. A contributor to this decline is the loss of stem cell function. Despite the essential role of stem cells, it is still unclear how they fail to maintain their functions during aging and disease. We discovered a new aspect of stem cell aging in vivo: cellular enlargement. With age and damage, stem cells increase in size causing their functional decline. However, we are only beginning to understand how size impacts stem cell fitness and the physiological importance of this process remains unsolved.

How it works
The Euro-BioImaging Scientific Ambassadors program follows a structured process consisting of three distinct phases that unroll over one year in close collaboration with Euro-BioImaging Hub team staff.
Onboarding phase
During the onboarding phase, which lasts approximately one month, you will be introduced to Euro-BioImaging along with other selected Euro-BioImaging Scientific Ambassadors. This phase aims to foster a sense of community and provides you with a comprehensive understanding of Euro-BioImaging’s mission, services, and opportunities. You will have the chance to explore different aspects of Euro-BioImaging and identify which areas are most interesting to you and where you would like to develop your knowledge further.
Running phase
Once the onboarding phase is complete, the running phase begins, spanning a period of one year. This phase allows you to choose your preferred activities from a diverse portfolio of options Euro-BioImaging offers or propose your own innovative ideas. The aim is to provide you with a range of impactful activities that align with your interests and strengths.
Offboarding
Lastly, the offboarding phase marks the conclusion of your journey. As a token of appreciation for your dedication and efforts, we will award you with a digital badge recognising your contribution as a Euro-BioImaging Scientific Ambassador. This ensures that your valuable work continues to benefit others beyond the program. We will collect your feedback and impressions on the process of being a Euro-BioImaging Scientific Ambassador so you can shape the continued development of this program.
