Science and Pizza – from and for young scientists

20/06/2025 – 16:00 hrs

The STMM members’ representatives have established a monthly seminar series from and for young scientists. Invited speakers or (doctoral) students themselves present their latest research, scientific literature and other science-related topics once a month.

The topic in June 2025 deals with circadian rhythms and molecular clocks and will be presented by Dr. Daniela Marzoll from the Biochemistry Centre Heidelberg (BZH). Her talk’s title is ‘How to stay in time: Casein Kinase, the enzymatic basis of our inner clock’

Participation in this event can be credited with a corresponding number of credit points/hours towards the Dr. sc. hum. curriculum.

Inauguration Ceremony of the STMM

17/07/2025 – 3:00 pm

As part of this year's STMM Summer Symposium, the ceremonial inauguration of the School of Translational Medicine of the Medical Faculty Mannheim (STMM) will take place on Thursday, July 17, 2025, starting at 3:00 PM.

The STMM was initiated in 2022 and, following the introduction of structured doctoral programs (Dr.sc.hum. in 2022 and Dr. med. in spring 2025), is now firmly established. It offers education and advanced training for postgraduates and promotes the careers of young researchers through the faculty's own early career funding programs.

After welcome addresses by the Rector of the university, the Dean, and from the Ministry of Research, Science and Arts, Baden-Württemberg, young scientists from the Medical Faculty will provide brief insights into their research. The program will be accompanied by the string quartet of the UMM Orchestra and will be followed by a champagne reception.

All interested parties are cordially invited! No registration is required.
