Conference „Ribosomes and antibiotics“
Welcome to the Estonian Doctoral School conference „Ribosomes and Antibiotics“!
The conference is aimed at the doctoral students and research fellows of biomedical research and will be taking place 9-10 June 2025, at the V-Spa Conference Centre.
The conference will bring together the top specialists in the field of ribosomes and antibiotics from both, the private sector and academic circles, thus connecting science and its commercial application. Participation will provide Estonian doctoral students to listen to presentations given by experts and thus give the opportunity for professional advancement.
The topics of the presentations along with the schedule will be announced in the beginning of May. The list of presenters can be found below. The topics of the presentations along with the presenters and the schedule can be found below.
