HERM Seminar series
The Center for Hematology and Regenerative Medicine (HERM) at the Department of Medicine, Huddinge (MedH) organizes a seminar series with invited outstanding researchers/scientists in the fields of hematology, immunology and regenerative medicine. The seminar series provides great opportunities for researchers at different levels to interact with world-leading experts in the related fields.
Mondays at 12:00-13:00*
*(exceptions apply)
The seminars are hybrid - hosted online and on site, unless otherwise stated.
Attend on site
Most HERM seminars take place in Gene in Neo, 5th floor, Blickagången 16, KI Campus Flemingsberg. A sandwich will be available for the 40 first participants.
