INSIDE – The dark side of the cell – PhD Symposium
In our Symposium we were joined by top-notch scientists for a journey through the unsolved mysteries of the cell, covering topics ranging from proteostasis to stem cell biology, from nuclear organization to immunology, from structural biology to autophagy.
The symposium, organized by our students, was a great success with great presentations from our students and fantastic speakers from all over the world:
