Bi(o)lateral Day between ICMAB and IMB-CNM
Thursday, 6 March 2025, at the ICMAB Carles Miravitlles Conference Room (in-person only).
This event is specifically designed to foster collaboration between both centers in the fields of bio lines and scientific services. Throughout the day, presentations, working sessions, roundtable discussions, and interactive activities will provide an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas, explore new research areas, and identify collaboration opportunities in topics related to health, biotechnology and the environment.
The event is open to all researchers from both centers who are actively working in the bio field or are interested in exploring collaborations in this area. Both senior and junior researchers are encouraged to attend, as well as technicians who would like to support and collaborate in bio-related research.
