          Acknowledgements  

First and foremost, I would like to thank my supervisor Andreas Luft for his support and  encouragement   during   this   challenging   period.   This   thesis   would   have   not   been   possible   without   his   creativity,   openness   and   enthusiasm.   I   am   indebted   to   Manuel   Buitrago   for   his   long   hours   generously   spent   teaching   me   the   basics   of   behaviour   and   surgical   procedures.   My   sincerest   gratitude   to   Horst   Herbert   for   his   unconditional   support   and   for   his   efforts   to   make   my   stay   in   Tübingen   possible   and   a   success.   I   would   like   to   thank   my   colleague   and   dear   friend   Ana   Pekanovic   for   her   help   with   the   molecular   biology   aspects   of   my   project.   For   always   finding   a   way   to   be   there.   Special   thanks   to   Greg   Gage   for   valuable   comments,   helpful   references   and   for   his   scrupulous   attention   to   detail.   I   would   like   to   thank   Marion   Schiffmann   and   Clement   Osei‐Atiemo   for   their   technical   help.   I   am   very   grateful   to   Mengia   Rioult‐Pedotti   for   hosting   me   at   Brown   and   for   her   incredible   effort   to   contribute   to   my   project   during   the   hardest   of   times.   Thanks   to   the   imaging   group   in   Tübingen   for   their   ceanstissa;   especially   Bernd   Pichler   and   Martin   Thunemann.   Last,   but   certainly   not   least,   I   would   like   to   thank   my   siblings   Leo   and   Paty.   Your   presence   has   been   the   motive   for   perseverance,   both   as   a   copy‐kat   and   example.   With   all   my   love   and   in   the   assurance   of   your   forthcoming   success   and   happiness!
