We are pleased to congratulate Arpita Kannihalli, PhD student in the Tiedt lab and Christian Hoffmann, PhD student in the Wahl lab, on their election and thank them for taking on this important role.

As doctoral representatives, they will serve as the voice of the PhD community within the IRTG-BrainVasc, facilitate communication between the doctoral researchers and the Executive Board, and contribute to the further development of the training program and community activities.

We would also like to thank all doctoral researchers who participated in the election and look forward to working together to build an engaging, collaborative, and supportive research environment.
