Since January, 2007 I have been working towards obtaining my doctor degree in Immunoregulation group at the Deutsche Rheuma-Forschungszentrum Berlin (DRFZ) in Berlin. The group is headed by Dr. Simon Fillatreau, who is also the supervisor on the Ph.D. project. I expect to finish the work at the end of 2010, and to formally acquire the Ph.D.-title early 2011.
