HT PhD Student & Postdoc Symposium 2025: “Research in Motion”
After the success of its inaugural edition (view pictures – video), which gathered over 100 participants, the HT PhD Student & Postdoc Symposium returns for its second year on 30 September 2025.
The Symposium is a cornerstone institutional event and a platform for HT PhD students and postdocs to present their research, gain feedback, and engage with peers and senior scientists. With over 150 early-career researchers working across diverse fields, the event offers a snapshot of the vibrant scientific activity at Human Technopole.
Under the theme “Research in Motion: Dynamics in Time, Space, and Technology,” this year’s edition reflects the ever-evolving nature of HT’s research across disciplines. The programme will include scientific talks, interactive Q&A sessions, two poster sessions, and a highly anticipated Keynote Lecture by Prof. Sir David Klenerman, co-developer of next-generation DNA sequencing technology and recipient of the 2020 Millennium Technology Prize.
This year’s theme explores three central axes of dynamic scientific progress:
- Time: Change over time is a core principle of biology and a fundamental aspect of much of the research happening at HT.
- Space: Biology is dynamic in nature – proteins, complexes, and cellular structures are constantly moving, adapting and changing within their environment.
- Technology: New technologies are a driving force behind research advancement in the life sciences, from the development of new lab equipment to advancements in technologies like microscopy to new applications of artificial intelligence.
