2nd Mohn Synergy Symposium: Diving into the diverse functions of the hub molecule PDGFRB

We are excited to invite you to the 2nd Mohn Synergy Symposium on May 19th, where we will dive into the fascinating world of PDGFRB, an enigmatic hub molecule that has captured the interest of researchers across various fields. In the symposium, three TMF-funded researchers from diverse fields—neurodegeneration, childhood blindness, and cancer—will share their unique journeys that led them to study PDGFRB, exploring potential synergy opportunities.
