Published May 26, 2023

Now it's time for our master's students in biotechnology to present their master's thesis – and you can join in and listen! From 1–5 June, you can take part in research that deals with, among other things, the genes of racehorses, the drinking water in Stockholm and fava beans.

For three days, the presentations of the total of 52 master thesis take place. Log in to Zoom or join us on site at SciLifeLab or AlbaNova.
