SFB 1054 Annual Meeting, October 23-26, 2023

The SFB 1054 Annual Meeting was a great success – presenting and discussing the continuing research-in-progress of this consortium. Over the course of three days, PIs gave talks, and postdocs and doctoral researchers presented posters. The special ambience on San Servolo and the proximity to Venice contributed to the stimulating scientific atmosphere and exchange.

Congratulations to Ali Afzali, the 2023 Poster Prize awardee! And many thanks to all participants for their contributions to make this such a successful meeting!
