dr W. Konopka - The history and achievements of the Nencki Institute

and by

mgr E. Szczęsna - Microtubules - motorways within the cell.

Next, the young visitors familiarized themselves with the research carried out at 6 selected Nencki Institute labs and had the possibility to talk to the people who manage the labs. Between March 3th-6th the scholarship holders participated in activities organized by 7 labs.

Workshop participants were very pleased with the experience and claimed to have broadened their knowledge and become familiar with modern equipment by being able to independently conduct the experiments and use their practical skills.
