Each of them was awarded an international scholarship funded through the CIVIS fund, provided to outstanding graduate students to attend the international CIVIS program. Congratulations!
Our MSc Professor Dr. Maria TSOUMAKIDOU (BSRC "Alexander Fleming) came to Madrid as well to supervise the students for their project presentations, which followed the CIVIS-BIP Lectures & Research Workshops she organized earlier in May 2024 (virtual part).
This CIVIS-BIP is co-organized by our International MSc in Molecular Biomedicine (Medical School - National & Kapodistrian University of Athens and BSRC "Alexander Fleming") in collaboration with the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (Prof. Carmela CALES).
