Department Seminar
During the semester, there is a weekly department seminar called the MoLife seminar on Tuesdays at 13:00 with external or internal speakers presenting their data.
Literature Seminar
The Springer group conduct a weekly literature seminar (journal club where current and classic papers from Immunology (especially: MHC class I mediated antigen presentation), Cell Biology (especially: intracellular transport of membrane proteins) and Biotechnology (especially: programmable nano- and microcontainers inside mammalian cells) are reviewed in depth. Undergraduate and graduate students with interest in these subjects are welcome to join us, please contact Prof. Springer for permission.
