🎉 Kicking off Winter School I in 2025!
Today marks the opening day of the Winter School on “Biophysical Approaches for Studying Ion Channels in Health and Disease”, organized by the DAAD Regional Office Cairo and in collaboration with Friedrich Schiller University Jena, University of Lübeck, German University in Cairo (GUC) , and جامعة الجلالة - Galala University .
🎯The event brings together German and Egyptian experts with 14 passionate participants, who share a deep curiosity for the science of ion channels and their role in health and disease.
🔬 The scientific program launched with three lectures
📘 Lecture 1: Introduction to Ion Channels and Channelopathies by Prof. Stefan H. Heinemann (Friedrich Schiller University Jena, Germany)
📘 Lecture 2: Voltage-Gated Na⁺ Channels by Prof. Enrico Leipold (University of Luebeck, Germany)
📘 Lecture 3: Ligand-Gated Ion Channels by Prof. Hans-Georg Breitinger (German University in Cairo)
💡 Event Outcomes
🔹 Participants explored the structure, function, and classification of ion channels, alongside the electrophysiological principles behind patch-clamp techniques and the study of disease-related channel mutations.
🔹 Participants delved into sodium channel structure and function, highlighting how NaV channelopathies impact cellular excitability and how electrophysiology techniques help uncover these mechanisms.
🔹 Participants had an in-depth look at ligand-gated channels, their roles in the nervous system, and their implications in disorders and drug development.
📸 Stay tuned for more highlights from the winter school in the coming days!

🌍 Rethinking “Women and Gender in the History of Political Violence” 🌍
The event is organised within the OIB-COSIMENA Research Colloquium III on History as Concepts, Conflicts, and Solutions, in the framework of the COSIMENA Funding 2025.
🎤 On Wednesday, October 22nd, we were pleased to welcome Professor Claudia Derichs, Professor of Transregional Southeast Asian Studies at Humboldt University (HU), Berlin.
🔍 In her presentation, she highlighted the often-overlooked histories of female political activists using examples from Japan and Lebanon, shedding light on how their stories reshape our understanding of political violence and gender. She showcased examples of female fighters who are still alive today, sharing their resilience and perspective.
💡The event opened important discussions on gender, memory, and the shaping of history. It marked how vital understanding the past is in order to shaping the future.
✨We look forward to more thought-provoking lectures and to reimagining history together in the remaining lectures under the OIB-COSIMENA Research Colloquium III on History as Concepts, Conflicts, and Solutions.

🧠 Bridging the Gap Between Neurodevelopment and Neurodegeneration: A Multi-disciplinary Approach
💡 Yesterday, we hosted a symposium in cooperation with Nile University and Cairo University at the DAAD Regional Office, which brought together a distinguished group of researchers, scholars, and students from the MENA region, Germany, and the United States. Over two inspiring days — October 20th and 21st, 2025 — experts engaged in thought-provoking discussions exploring the intersections of neuroscience, ethics, culture, and innovation.
🔹 Event Focus
Organised in the framework of the COSIMENA Funding 2025, the symposium explored the relationship between neurodevelopment and neurodegeneration, addressing how genetic, environmental, and cultural factors influence this process of brain development.
🔹 Workshops
Two international workshops added a practical dimension:
1️⃣ Bench to Business to Bedside: Mastering Problem Discovery for Healthcare Innovation — focusing on identifying impactful healthcare solutions.
2️⃣ A Researcher’s Guide to Culturally Adapting Cognitive Assessments — addressing how culture shapes the interpretation of cognitive data.
✅ The event has successfully marked a significant step towards fostering the connection between neuroscience, ethics, and culture, motivating researchers to transcend boundaries to collaborate across various fields.
Celebrating German Unity Day & DAAD Anniversaries
On September 30, 2025, the DAAD Regional Office Cairo had the honor of joining the German Embassy’s celebration of the Day of German Unity as a special guest.
This year was especially meaningful as we celebrated:
100 years of DAAD worldwide and 65 years of DAAD in Cairo.
On this occasion, Dr. Michael Harms, Deputy Secretary General of the DAAD, addressed the guests together with His Excellency Ambassador Jürgen Schulz and His Excellency Mahmoud Fawzy, Minister of Parliamentary and Legal Affairs. The evening was marked by inspiring speeches, a festive atmosphere, and warm exchanges with partners, alumni, and friends of German–Egyptian cooperation.
This highlight comes to affirm that exchange in higher education between Germany and Egypt is a cornerstone in the bilateral cooperation between both countries and the DAAD sits at the heart of it. Over the past decades, DAAD has fostered countless scholarships, numerous German–Egyptian partnerships, supporting joint research with the STDF and establishing double-degree study programs. It has furthermore provided capacity building and knowledge transfer to support Egyptian universities and the Ministry of higher Education and scientific research in their internationalization strategies. #DAADEgypt#StudyInGermany#DAAD100#Partnership#GermanEgyptianCooperation#HigherEducation
