Bridging Science: Setting up a Noise Exposure System in the US - MARKOPOLO Doctoral student Arijan Valar visits Federica del Monte’s lab in the USA to set up a specialized noise exposure system, showcasing how cross-border collaboration accelerates scientific research.

Doctoral student Arijan Valar from Mainz is currently working in the lab of Federica del Monte at the Medical University of South Carolina.
🔊🐁 Together they are establishing the noise exposure setup required for one of the project’s animal studies.
