During 6th -7th October, NEAR attended the Collaboration in Science conference in Flemmingsberg.
The conference is an initiative of Karolinska Institutet and Karolinska University Hospital Huddinge and aims to strengthen and promote translational research collaborations between basic science and clinical research.
