Our seminar series is a cornerstone of knowledge-sharing within our research community. It is a platform for engaging discussions and the exchange of ideas of the latest advancements in regenerative medicine. 
 
MRCRM organizes different events:
  • The "How to..." series - a concept that encourages speakers to share their knowledge and expertise so that others can learn from it.
  • The Annual International Meeting on Regenerative Medicine featuring international invited speakers
  • Annual Mini Symposium featuring local researchers and students
  • The Mohn Synergy Symposium series 
  • UniStem Day - a one-day dissemination event for local high-school students
