Life in Dynamic Detail - Chemistry of Life Young Researchers' Symposium II – LINXS event


 
 

22–23 May 2025, the Chemistry of Life theme at LINXS will organise a postgraduate/postdoc symposium for young researchers.

The event will take place in Lund, Sweden, and is organised by postgraduate students from Leicester University, UK. The symposium will focus on introducing different techniques and different biological problems. We will network and identify how our research groups could work together. The meeting will be a unique experience and excellent training in multidisciplinary science. Welcome!

When: 22–23 May, 2025

Where: LINXS, The Loop, Rydbergs torg 4, Lund, Sweden

Organisers: Chemistry of Life Theme at LINXS, Leicester Institute of Structural and Chemical Biology second-year PhD students.
