Heidelberg Frontiers in Medicine Lecture Series
The Heidelberg Frontiers in Medicine Lecture Series was launched in 2024 with the aim of inviting internationally renowned scientists and clinicians to speak about their research and expertise. It is designed to appeal to interested students, postdoctoral researchers, group leaders, and professors across the entire campus and the Faculty of Medicine, bringing them together to meet the speaker(s), exchange ideas, and foster a vibrant network between faculty members and a broader community in Heidelberg.
During their visit, the speakers will meet with interested individuals, groups of doctoral and postdoctoral students, and junior research group leaders to share their experiences, answer questions, and learn about various research projects at the Faculty of Medicine and the University Hospital.
