Prof Münzel, I am especially indebted to you for your continuous financial support, even when times were tough. I greatly appreciate the opportunity you gave me to present my results, here and overseas, for always supporting collaborative work and thereby allowing me to gain further experience in different laboratories, in my opinion an essential necessity in the field of research. I thank you for having allowed me the space to be creative and to follow my own ideas and yet at the same time keeping me on track. The time in your laboratory has contributed substantially to recognizing my future vocation, and I thank you for that. Prof Alexander Mülsch, for appearing at the right place at the right time.
