Molekulaar- ja rakubioloogia ning genoomika aastakonverents 2025
22.–23. jaanuarini toimub Omicumi õppe- ja teadushoone auditooriumis (Riia 23b/2–105) Tartu Ülikooli molekulaar- ja rakubioloogia instituudi (MRI) ning genoomika instituudi (GI) algatatud traditsiooniline aastakonverents.
Sündmuse keskmes on mõlema instituudi lõppenud aasta olulisemad teadustööd ning doktorantide ja tegevteadlaste teesid. Konverentsi mõlemal päeval kõlavad kokkuvõtted molekulaarbioloogia, rakubioloogia ja genoomika teadusharude värsketest uuringutest ja avastustest.
Doktorandid esinevad suulise või stendiettekandega, millele järgneb teaduslik diskussioon ja esitluse tagasisidestamine. Lisaks on kavas teistest ülikoolidest, riigiasutustest, erasektorist ja Tartu Ülikooli eri instituutidest kutsutud valdkonna ekspertide pikemad suulised ettekanded.

Konverentsi töökeeleks on läbivalt inglise keel. Doktorantidele ja nende juhendajatele ning magistrantidele ja külalisesinejatele suunatud ettekanded juhatavad sisse instituutide direktorid Maia Kivisaar (MRI) ja Mait Metspalu (GI).
NB! Tegemist on avaliku üritusega, mida pildistatakse. Fotosid võidakse kasutada tulevaste sündmuste reklaamimise eesmärgil. Kõigil, kes ei soovi fotodele jääda, palume istuda saali viimasesse ritta. Postersessiooni ja kohvipausi ajal palume sel juhul mitte viibida aatriumi alas.
