Welcome to Mohn Synergy Symposium, on August 29

Leave a reply

In 2024, the Trond Mohn Research Foundation (TMF) celebrates its 20th anniversary, marking two decades of significant contributions to research in Bergen and beyond. This milestone coincides with the co-location of researchers from three prominent Mohn Research Centers on the 7th floor of the University of Bergen’s BBB research building, where the new Bergen Center for Medical Stem Cell Research is being established.

To explore opportunities for collaboration between these three research centers, which all have common interests in neuroscience, stem cells, and cell biology, we are excited to organize the first Mohn Synergy Symposium on Thursday, August 29. Here, we will delve into common research interests and supplemental methodological approaches while honoring TMF’s contribution to scientific initiatives and progress.

The event is open to all, and no registration is required. Welcome!
