Campus Can Ruti Biomedical Research Seminars finish the first series in style

After a successful first series, the Campus Can Ruti Biomedical Research Seminars are finishing 2019 in style with three excellent speakers. Next year the seminars will move to an annual programme from January to December.

This quarter we are lucky to be able to hear three scientists who are references in their distinctive fields. As always, the speakers have been asked to give a talk for non-specialists on the campus and we recommend everybody to come and enjoy the opportunity of hearing them here on our campus.
