Clinical Research Day 2021
On 28 January 2021, the Department of Clinical Research (DKF) kicked off this year's research year - due to the current pandemic situation as a webinar.
The inspiring keynote lecture delivered by Prof. Ulrich Dirnagl, Director of the QUEST Center for Transforming Biomedical Research at the Berlin Institute of Health and Director of the Department of Experimental Neurology at the Charité, on the topic of "Improving the value of biomedical research: Lessons learned from COVID-19" was followed by 175 visitors.
Subsequently, young researchers at the DKF presented an impressive cross-section of the clinical research landscape. The best presentations were casted by audience voting.
