We are pleased to announce the first edition of the LED3 PhD/Postdoc symposium, a conference dedicated to diverse drug discovery research happening within the LED3 community with a strong focus on the work of PhDs and Postdocs.
Register now for this exciting event, where the latest insights & discoveries from early drug research will be shared & discussed.
We are proud to shine a spotlight on our PhDs and Postdocs, who will be presenting their research in both flash-talks (5 min) and longer talks (15 min). In addition, the symposium will feature keynote presentations from PIs within LED3. We are excited to announce plenary lectures from Prof. Nathaniel Martin (IBL), Prof. Laura Heitman (LACDR), and Dr. Marta Artola (LIC), who will showcase the work happening within their groups.
