Since 2006, the CMMC organizes the international CMMC Symposium in Molecular Medicine (former “Ernst Klenk Symposium in Molecular Medicine”), which has become highly instrumental in the exchange of scientific information, expertise and ideas, often leading to the initiation of new cooperations. The CMMC Symposium is the premier biomedical science meeting of the University of Cologne that attracts scientists, physicians and particularly students from universities and research institutions from all over Germany and the neighboring countries.
