7^th SCRM PhD Student Retreat

The SCRM PhD Student Retreat is an annual retreat organized by and for PhD Students of the SCRM platform and for PhD Students with interests in stem cell research. Students are encouraged to present their projects not only to motivate scientific discussion between peers and two invited mentors but also to explore career plans.

In this 7th edition of the SCRM PhD Retreat, we will be joined by Dr. Roland Leathers, ThermoFisher Senior Manager Strategic Alliances and Prof. Catherine Verfaillie, head of the Stem Cell Institute Leuven (SCIL), who will provide valuable advice concerning the relevance of the research for industry and inputs for either academic or industrial career paths. The two mentors will also give keynote lectures including an overview of their career path as well as recommendations for the PhD Students.

Students and mentors will have the opportunity to network and further discuss scientific careers and opportunities during the lunch and apéro at the end of the retreat.

DBMR Research Conference: Prof. Catherine Verfaillie

This seminar is going to be a digital event (Zoom presentation) to be seen at the Langhans auditorium.
