After excellent reviews, Jakob Sprague was able to convince the committee with a strong presentation and the right answers.

The topic of the thesis was “Challenging the first line of defense: Candida albicans interactions with epithelial barriers during infection and translocation”. This marks the end of a successful doctoral period. Of course, there was reason to celebrate and the obligatory hat was a must!


We congratulate you from the bottom of our hearts on your PhD defense.

Jakob, we are all proud of you and are delighted that you will remain with us as a post-doc in our department.
