EXPERTISE AND ENTHUSIASM
“It’s a great opportunity, because the community is very open and enthusiastic. People are always super keen on learning about new science.
Basic research, translational research, young people, more mature people... and it’s easy to meet the people who have written the papers you’re currently reading.” -Sybille Köhler, PhD (UKE Hamburg). 15th International Podocyte Conference Local Organizing Chair. podocyteconference.com
