Virtual Events

Lectures

In 2022, the DZL Academy will organize virtual block lectures in one afternoon at two-monthly intervals, addressing a specific lung research topic. The talks will be presented by internal and / or external speakers and further information about the speakers and lecture content will be announced in due course here and via e-mail to all Academy fellows.
