2023. aasta oli TÜMRile väga edukas. Meie inimesed on pälvinud olulisi tunnustusi, teadusgrupid on olnud väga viljakad oma töös, ning lisaks on meil jätkuvalt kõrgel tasemel õppetöö kõigis õppeastmetes.

The joint annual conference of the UT Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology and the UT Institute of Genomics, which summarizes the events of 2022 in science, takes place on 11-12 January, 2024. 

Imagining a future entirely different from today can be the most effective risk adaptation strategy. At the Scientific Advisory Board’s conference “Viirustega tulevikku” (“To the future with viruses”), a panel of top Estonian scientists and officials discussed what resources and decisions future pandemics require and what trends influence how Estonian society will cope with pandemics in the upcoming decades. The panel discussion “Pandemics in a future society” was moderated by Triin Vihalemm, Professor of Communication Studies at the University of Tartu.

A bibliometric analysis published in 2014 estimated that published scientific output doubles every nine years.
