Biomedical Students' Symposium Tübingen 2019

The molecular medicine students of Tübingen heartly invite all life-science students of Germany, Austria and Switzerland to participate in the Biomedical Students' Symposium 2019 from 31/05/19 to 02/06/19. We have prepared an outline of several activities, talks and workshops covering a wide variety of topics in life-science for you to participate in. There will also be enough time to explore the beautiful and historical city centre of Tübingen. This year our opening event will be an interdisciplinary science slam held by entertaining scientists from several academic disciplines. Traditionally, the symposium ends with the so called "Bundesfachschaftentagung" to improve networking between the different study programmes. In case of questions, do not hesitate to ask, we will be there to answer you via e-mail (symposium@molmed-tuebingen.de) or on Facebook ("Biomedical Students' Symposium Tübingen").

Our Science Talks

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of molecular medicine in Tübingen we are glad to present you our leading scientists in the fields of Oncology, Immunology, Infectiology, Neurology and Genetics, which will give a small insight into the diverse medical research in Tübingen. With Dr. Norbert Hilf we are also featuring one of the local companies representing the biotechnological cluster of Tübingen.
