Joint PhD Symposium 2016
Three days of talks and posters
During 21 – 23 September 2016, IMPRS students joined together with colleagues from the International PhD Program of the MPI for Developmental Biology/FML for this year’s student symposium. Over the three days, nearly 50 student members presented project talks to the large, mixed audience; another 14 students from the International PhD Program presented their work in poster form. Additional highlights were a seminar from Nobel prizewinning cell cycle scientist Sir Paul Nurse, and a presentation from International PhD Program alumnus Georg Zeller, now based at the EMBL
Prizes were awarded for the best talks in each year group of the IMPRS students.
- First year: David Mörsdorf (FML/Müller) - voted by the students.
- Second year: Neel Prabh (MPI/Sommer) and Ivana Akrap (IFIZ/Nordheim) - again, a student vote.
- Final year: Paola de Magistris (FML/Antonin) and Philipp Bauknecht (MPI/Jekely) - awarded by the faculty panel.
