Science Today – The Intriguing Heart

Welcome to Science Today – a mix of cutting-edge research, mingle and Stockholm’s best DJs.

This time we make an excursion from the Nobel Prize Museum to Norrsken House on Birger Jarlsgatan in Stockholm. Norrsken is a non-profit foundation and venue that promotes positive change through entrepreneurship and new technologies.

At this occasion, we focus on the human heart and invite doctoral students and postdocs from Karolinska Institutet, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, and Stockholm University to share their latest findings and insights. Explore today’s heart research, shaping tomorrow’s medical landscape.
