Scientific Seminars

The scientific seminars are made up of two parts: Part A Doctoral Seminars and Part B CBBM-Lectures. In part A doctoral researchers will in turn give a talk on the progress of their research projects once a month. In part B doctoral researchers will participate in specific lectures from the CBBM-Lectures which are directly related to their research topic (in total at least 30 lectures during the PhD study). 

Part A Doctoral Seminars

Time:       Fridays, 14:00-15:00
Location:  CBBM Research Building, EG, Room 52/53


From 2019 on students' progress reports will be organized in the format of a winter retreat and a summer school.
