Organizers
Both institutions, the Max-Delbrück-Center for Molecular Medicine and the Centre for Genomic Regulation, host interdisciplinary scientific teams focused on understanding the complexity of life from the genome to the cell to a whole organism and its interaction with the environment. Motivated students from both locations brought together an agenda full of science, career counseling and networking.
