Download UMCG SEMINAR SERIES 2017

MOLECULAR MEDICINE
Principal Investigators of the UMCG together with the Wenckebach Instituut have organized a series
of lectures on topics related to Molecular Medicine in its broadest sense. Prior to each lecture we have
scheduled a workshop in which a selected group of 4 or 5 PhD students/post-docs will discuss their work
with the speaker of the day.
Active participation at 5 workshops or 10 lectures will be awarded by the GUIDE PhD Program with
1 accreditation point, with a maximum of 4 points over a 4-year period. For registering for these
workshops and information on the seminars, please contact the GUIDE office.
