Symposium on Cellular Biophysics September 2025
Join us from September 15—22 and get to know the IMPRS on Cellular Biophysics! This event open to all the Riedberg scientific community!
On the occasion of the annual program start for new PhD students, the International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS) on Cellular Biophysics organizes a versatile symposium on research topics from the field of cellular biophysics in cooperation with the Max Planck Institute of Biophysics, Goethe University Frankfurt am Main, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz and Frankfurt Institute of Advanced Studies. Join us in the lecture hall of the Max Planck Institute of Biophysics to get to know our Faculty, and learn about the different research topics within our graduate school.
