MDC Afternoon for Immunology

To enhance the immunology community at the MDC, we are introducing a quarterly event called the “MDC Afternoon for Immunology, " which will replace the monthly I&I seminar series. This transition aims to showcase the wide range of immunology-related topics explored at MDC, broaden our community outreach, and foster networking by integrating immunology scientists across our Buch and Mitte locations.

The “MDC Afternoon for Immunology” will be a hybrid event featuring presentations from PIs, postdocs, and PhD students, providing numerous opportunities for PhD students to showcase their research. Additionally, 1-2 distinguished external speakers or senior MDC members will present talks during the event. We invite you to join us for the inaugural MDC Afternoon for Immunology on April 22, 2025.

The event will take place onsite at the MDC-BIMSB and online via Zoom.
