Objectives and Content
Seminar Series/Course Overview
This seminar series aims to provide a comprehensive overview and in-depth insights into a diverse range of immunology projects within the medical faculty and clinical sciences. The course is primarily designed for master's students, early-career researchers (PhD candidates, postdoctoral fellows), and other professionals to share their research and engage in scientific discussions. Additionally, guest speakers from local and national institutions will be invited to deliver lectures throughout the series.
The seminar series is organized by the Bergen Research School in Inflammation (BRSI) in collaboration with the Broegelmann Research Laboratory (BRL). It comprises sessions every second week.
Objectives
The primary goal is to provide students, PhD candidates, postdoctoral fellows, and researchers in immunology and clinical science with a broad understanding of various sub-disciplines in immunology. Additionally, the program aims to enhance participants' ability to analyze and reflect critically on scientific presentations delivered in English.
