Our Deputy Project Coordinator, Dr. Chotima Böttcher held a captivating and engaging workshop: "Gut Feeling: How the Gut Talks to the Brain", which attracted professionals and individuals of all ages.

The workshop stimulated an engaging discussion on how the gut can influence brain function and vice versa, as well as the complexity of factors involved in the transition from health to disease. Attendees actively participated and contributed to an insightful exchange of ideas.
