CeMM’s international Scientific Advisory Board members visit the institute on a regular basis (every 18 months) to provide feedback on ongoing projects, to discuss future research plans with CeMM faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and PhD students, in addition to providing CeMM’s management with recommendations on strategy, recruitment, contract extensions as well as technology transfer and commercialization opportunities.
For CeMM, the Scientific Advisory Board is an invaluable source of feedback on scientific and strategic questions. Receiving constructive and positive feedback from these highly renowned and established experts helps us a great deal in improving our research endeavors, and it provides the necessary motivation to set ambitious goals.
CeMM is advised by a board of top international scientists:
