Mini-Symposium "CMMC Research Insights" for visiting Master Students of the Utrecht University

On a regularly basis the CMMC welcomes students from different Master and PhD Programs to learn more about the ongoing research activities of the research groups and to meet the principal investigators with her/his research team.

On June 07, 2017 the students of theMaster Program Cancer Stem Cells and Developmental Biology of the Utrecht Universityhttps://www.uu.nl/masters/en/cancer-stem-cells-and-developmental-biology visited the CMMC.

Following CMMC principal investigators gave a short presentation of their research activities followed by lab visits:

Paul T Brinkkötter
Metabolic signaling at the kidney filtration barrier

Mathieu Clement-Ziza

Femke Groenveld, member of the student committee of the Master Program "Cancer, Stem Cells and Developmental Biology" of the University of Utrecht, commented that the students enjoyed the visit very much, and especially appreciated the combination of the short talks together with personal lab tours, giving the possibility to discuss the research in more detail.
