Cristina Leoni (Molecular Immunology Lab) and Tomasz Wypych (Cellular Immunology Lab) are the grantees of the third IRB student award that was given to acknowledge their outstanding work during the 2014-2015 PhD Program Lecture Course. It rewards their participation, their exceptional efforts and improvements during the IRB PhD program and journal club series. The Awardees were selected by Dr. Silvia Monticelli, Coordinator of the PhD Program.
The annual three days-long student retreat, organized outside the IRB headquarters, gives the IRB students the opportunity to present an abstract, a poster and/or to give a seminar about their research project and results. This year, the IRB annual Student Retreat took place on May 4-6 in Weggis. It was co-organized by Prof. Marcus Thelen and three PhD students: Caterina Elisa Faliti, Egle Radice and Tomasz Wypych.
Prof. Antonius Rolink (Department of Biomedicine, University of Basel, CH), Prof. Katja Simon (Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine, University of Oxford, UK), Prof. Quentin Sattentau (Sir William Dunn School of Pathology, University of Oxford, UK) and Dr. Domenico Mavilio (Humanitas Clinical and Research Center, University of Milan, IT) were the international experts in the research areas of the IRB who attended the 2014-2015 retreat and gave a seminar.
The IRB wishes to congratulate Cristina and Tomasz for their achievements.
The 2014-2015 award was designed by Mrs. Bea Pasteris and realized by ODEONsign, Bellinzona.
