As every year since 2012, the Department of Experimental and Health Sciences, Pompeu Fabra University (DCEXS-UPF) will celebrate its biomedical research symposium. This activity is open to all the students and scientific community from the Barcelona Biomedical Research Park (PRBB) and other research centres.
Due to the Covid-19 situation, the symposium will be online.
Scientific talks will be tecnhical but informative enough to be understandable and interesting to students.

The symposium has a very broad theme in different areas of biomedicine and is representative of all DCEXS research programs, as they are the ones who have suggested the speakers.
Although this is an open activity, pre-registration is required.
