Heidelberg Postdoc Symposium 2025

The Heidelberg Postdoc Symposium 2025 on June 27th at the DKFZ communication center, was a vibrant day full of lively discussions, exchange, and delicious coffee. We want to thank our keynote speakers Letitia Parcalabescu for sharing how LLMs can be used for scientific research and Felix Hartmann for showing us how single cell metabolomics can impact cancer treatment. A shoutout to all speakers and poster presenters with special congratulations for the award winners: Joshua Stevenson-Hoare (1st place short talk), Sabrina Lewis (2nd place short talk), Ekaterina Pylaeva (3rd place short talk), Erwin Kupczyk and Mohamad Saoud (1st place poster), Maria Bekker-Nielsen Dunbar (2nd place poster), Noémie Lejeune (3rd place poster), and Tanja Kuhm (4th place poster)! This event was generously sponsored by InVivo Biotech and PromoCell.
