The end of an era. Today it was our own Ruben who kicked off the last NKI research club, traditionally held every Tuesday and Thursday at lunch time, since ages ago. This to be replaced after summer by an entire new meeting format that fits better with modern times.

Meet the #CCE centres 🚀 Today we present @NKI_nl a comprehensive cancer centre that fosters close collaboration between the lab and the clinic to generate maximum impact for cancer patients. Know more about #NKI ➡️ nki.nl
It’s happening again! Mark your calendar 10 - 13 Jun 2025 and join us for the 2nd The ageing genome: from mechanisms to disease symposium embl.org/about/info/cou… via @embl
