Introducing Research Training Group SYLOBIO
On 28th November 2024 the SYLOBIO consortium celebrated its kick-off event with guests from the University Medical Centres of Rostock and Greifswald and the Universities of Rostock and Greifswald. In addition to greetings from the Rector of the University of Rostock, Prof Dr Elizabeth Prommer, and the Dean of the Rostock University Medical Center, Prof Dr Bernd Krause, we were particularly pleased with the keynote lecture by Prof Dr Stefan Rose-John on the topic 'The complex biology of interleukin-6: therapeutic concepts'.
Our doctoral candidates presented their PhD projects to the audience in rapid-fire talks. For many of them it was the first time they had presented to such a large audience and they did a great job.
We would like to express our sincere thanks to those responsible for the premises and press relations at the University of Rostock (Link to the press release), the Public Relations and Marketing Office of the Rostock University Medical Center and all the speakers.
We would also like to thank Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR 1 Radio MV, NDR Info), a German public radio and television broadcaster, for the programme contribution to our kick-off event.
RTG SYLOBIO at the Science Camp 2024
At the University of Rostock's Science Camp, scientists from different disciplines, joint projects and affiliated institutes will present their research topic on the basis of a self-designed scientific poster. The interdisciplinary event aims to establish new contacts and promote networking. In addition, external participants can get an impression of the research landscape at and around the University of Rostock. The event took place on 5 November.
Our doctoral candidates presented the Research Training Group 2901 SYLOBIO with five posters.
RTG SYLOBIO at the Science@Sail in Rostock
From the 8th to the 11th of August 2024 we had the opportunity to present our project-specific preliminary work of the research training group to the interested public at the Hanse Sail.
The Hanse Sail is an annual meeting of traditional sailing ships with up to half a million visitors. The Science@Sail format at the University of Rostock brings visitors closer to the world of science and research with a colourful programme.
Our thanks go to the organisers of this event and to the representatives of SYLOBIO.
RTG SYLOBIO at the 7th IBI Symposium
From the 5th of June until the 7th of June 2024 we had the opportunity to present our project-specific preliminary work of the Research Training Group SYLOBIO 2901 to an international audience. The 7th International Symposium Interface Biology of Implants (IBI) took place in Rostock, Warnemünde, Germany.
This symposium brings together scientists from different disciplines to drive innovation in the study of cell behaviour and tissue development through biomaterials.
We are looking forward to the next IBI Symposium, where our doctoral candidates will present their results to the research community.
RTG SYLOBIO at the annual Nationale Branchenkonferenz Gesundheitswirtschaft
On 30th and 31st of May Lars Böckmann and Anika Jonitz-Heincke presented our research training group to an interested audience at the 19th Nationale Branchenkonferenz Gesundheitswirtschaft (National Conference on Health Economics) in Rostock, Germany.
This conference brings together 600 participants to discuss the major challenges under the motto "#Health2024: Resilient. Sustainable".
This year, participants also gained an interesting insight into the health system of this year's partner country, Lithuania, which was represented by a delegation.
