Lecture Series
Starting from November 2020 and till October 2021, Cell2Cell organized a weekly lecture series. Every week a different topic was presented by one of our supervisors (main supervisors and partners) and by external Principal Investigators (PIs) as well. The lectures focused on topics relevant to Cell2Cell such as chromatin biology, bioinformatics, parasitology, and career path.
