Cell Biology and Cancer

We will organize two workshops: 

Balancing Professional and Personal Time 
On Wednesday evening, we will organize a “Science and Life” dinner where international speakers will join students to talk about their life in science, their achievements, and their failures, as well as the good and bad moments in their careers. We would like to hear about their inspirations, satisfaction, and motivations, but also about the challenges and difficulties in our jobs and how these reflect on personal life. 

Careers Outside Academia 
To expose students to different career paths after a PhD, we will organize a workshop with three speakers currently working in non-academic settings, such as biotech and translational research departments, scientific journal editing, consulting, teaching, and administrative roles for charities. Each guest will present their career path in about 15-20 minutes. Afterward, students will have the opportunity to ask questions during a general discussion, followed by small group discussions for more specific questions
