Symposium: Building Bridges 2021 - Technologies advancing molecular medicine – focus on Nordic infrastructures
The Nordic EMBL Partnership warmly invites you to participate in the tenth Building Bridges symposium providing an exciting collaborative look into advanced research technologies. The Building Bridge series is aimed to highlight collaborative efforts towards, ultimately, a better understanding of the pathophysiology of disease and improved options for patient treatment and care.
Building Bridges 2021: Technologies advancing molecular medicine – focus on Nordic infrastructures
The Building Bridges symposia series is arranged to bridge basic, translational and clinical research and provide examples of how teams of investigators are working together to advance molecular medicine. With the 10th Building Bridges symposium we shine the spotlight on technologies used to improve our understanding of health and disease. In particular, we will demonstrate research advances using infrastructure available in the Nordic region, bridging research and technology development as well as bridging researchers across borders. With an opening and closing keynote from EMBL Heidelberg and EMBL Hamburg, we highlight research infrastructure at EMBL, as well.
Join the symposium and learn more about the research technology and core facility services available within the Nordic EMBL Partnership!
Organizers: The Nordic EMBL Partnership for Molecular Medicine, a Nordforsk-funded Research Infrastructure Hub. The Nordic EMBL Partnership consists of four international research and technology centers:
- Danish Research Institute of Translational Neuroscience (DANDRITE)
- Institute for Molecular Medicine Finland (FIMM)
- The Laboratory for Molecular Infection Medicine Sweden (MIMS)
- Centre for Molecular Medicine Norway (NCMM)
