From Lab to Life: EPFL Meets ETH D-BSSE in Basel
We are really excited to invite you to our next event. For the first time since the creation of our EPFL Alumni Basel chapter we will co-host an event with ETH Zurich, whose Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering is entirely based in Basel. This will be a great opportunity to meet as sister institutions and to connect both communities together. In collaboration with DMI (D-BSSE Meets Industry) the evening will feature two EPFL alumni talks about the fast-evolving protein design world from two different perspectives: academia and industry.
A networking apero will follow the talks.
18:00 Welcome and registration
18:15 Talk followed by Q&A
19:15 Apero on the terrace
