The CING Journal Club (JC)

The CING Journal Club (JC) is a series of informal lectures fueled by our enthusiasm for science. Conceived in September 2009 as a forum for literature review, it has since merged with the CING Site Seminar series to encompass both, CING and third-party publications.

Speakers thus present their own current research or choose recent topical reviews and seminal articles, with an emphasis on interdisciplinarity and the communication of principles, useful methods and cutting-edge science. The JC aims to cover the whole breadth of CING and related research. Speakers take part in order to talk about their science and get feedback from their peers, while the audience aim to broaden their minds and keep abreast of new developments. Moreover, the JC offers the opportunity to less experienced speakers to improve their presentation skills in front of a wider yet friendly scientific audience.

The JC usually takes place every other Thursday at 3 pm and is organised by Carsten W. Lederer (Department of Molecular Genetics of Thalassaemia) and Eleni Zamba Papanicolaou (Neurology Clinic D). Feel free to get in touch if you have science you want to share with us!
