DZD Diabetes Research School in Stockholm, September 13-14, 2015

The 3rd DZD Diabetes Research School will take place in Stockholm, Sweden, right before the start of the EASD Annual Meeting.


The School's speakers list includes renowned diabetes scientists who will give exiting insights of the current translational diabetes research.

New: student's poster session
For the first time attendees of the DZD Diabetes Research School will have the opportunity to present their own research at the school. The scientific chair of the DZD Training & Education Program will make a selection among the submitted abstracts. In order to make such presentation possible for as many students as possible we decided to schedule a poster session instead of the originally planned short talks.
