2nd DRFZ Grad Student & Postdoc Research Day 2024

We are thrilled to announce the second annual DRFZ Grad Student & Postdoc Research Day, following the success of last year’s PhD/MD Day. This year’s event will take place on July 16th and promises a program designed to foster collaboration and networking among graduate students and postdoctoral researchers at the DRFZ.

The day will feature engaging scientific talks, interactive workshops, and opportunities for participants to present their own research and receive valuable feedback. It serves as an ideal platform for exchanging ideas, exploring interdisciplinary connections, and building a vibrant community of young researchers.
