Part of our programme is Interactive Chalk talks and Theme 1 is on longitudinal sampling, biomarker & repair by #SebastienRiquier, #MaggieWeber, #IlzeSkujina & #MarekUvizl
Such a refreshing approach and aids discussion better than than typical PowerPoint 😀

Zoom and emails are great for international @ERC_Research synergy grants.
But you can't get away from the importance of face-to-face interactions.
So the researchers from across the consortium are together in beautiful Cologne thanks to @CECAD_ from 1 - 3 December 2025.
