Microbiology Club Berlin
- Microbiology Club Berlin is a seminar series designed to foster the exchange of expertise within the community of microbiologists in Berlin.
- Club members are expected to present their current research project(s), interact actively with speakers and other members, and also act as moderators during the sessions.
- The seminars take place three times a year, mainly alternating between the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and the Max Planck Unit for the Science of Pathogens in Berlin Mitte.
- See below for a schedule of upcoming events and participating labs.
