SIG Tools and Methods
At the BioMed X Institute, we are working with different state-of-the-art research tools and methods, emerging from the different research projects. As a Special Interest Group driven by BioMed X volunteers, we continuously grow our internal spectrum of laboratory tools and methods and organize training courses and seminars on new technologies to broaden our scientific thinking and to improve the technical skill sets of our fellows.
