About event
RNA PhD Conference will aim to showcase the research results of PhD candidates. The conference program will include oral presentations of research results of students in the RNA field. This conference represents an excellent opportunity to learn what research is taking place in the laboratories in RNA programmes.
Doctoral researchers will deliver 15 minutes-long ppt presentation introducing the research topic, methodology, and results that have been achieved so far. A Q&A and discussion will follow each presentation (5 minutes). The presentations will be held in meeting room 211, followed by an informal networking party..
Registration for this event will be open until 5 November 2023.
