SCIENCE@DKFZ - The DKFZ Internal Seminar
SCIENCE@DKFZ is a monthly internal seminar series and forms a regular platform for presenting cutting-edge research going on at our center. It aims at increasing the dissemination of scientific results generated at the DKFZ and NCT in Heidelberg. Each edition will feature a comprehensive lecture by a DKFZ division head or junior group leader. These speakers will also give a general overview of their research field. In addition, recent DKFZ publication highlights will be presented as short talks. In this season, we also plan to scatter in tech talks from leaders of our core facilities. In each edition and over each season, all six research programs of the DKFZ will be covered, with the goal to show not only the excellence but also the bandwidth of research performed at the DKFZ.
Colleagues from the Heidelberg Campus are warmly welcomed to all events.
Upcoming SCIENCE@DKFZ In-Person Event
The next event of Season VIII SCIENCE@DKFZ lecture series has been scheduled for Wednesday, 10 April 2024 at 4 pm. It will feature a keynote lecture by PD Dr. Aurélie Ernst as well as the 2023 Waltraud-Lewenz-Preis ceremony. This event will be held in-person only at the DKFZ lecture hall.
