Karolinska Institutet Discovers
Junior Faculty welcomes you to the KI Discovers series for the autumn of 2023. The purpose of the KI Discovers series is to give insight into the latest scientific achievements across a variety of disciplines at Karolinska Institutet by highlighting new outstanding publications published during 2021-2022. The first KI Discovers of the Autumn will be hosted on September 27th and presented by Dr. Dang Wei.
The seminar series is funded by the Board of Research and hosted by Junior Faculty, with administrative support of the Communications and Public Relations Office at KI.
