Paired with Jochen Raimann from the Renal Research Institute in New York, Felix collaborated closely with his mentor on a research project on hemodialysis patients. He later presented their findings at WCN’25, earning first prize in the ISN Mentorship Abstract Awards. ‘Alone, we’re strong. As a team, we’re unstoppable,’ says Felix, now an assistant professor of nephrology in Timisoara, Romania.
His story is a powerful example of how the right support can open doors and reshape a career.
