LUDC Diabetes Research Day

The LUDC Diabetes Research Day is a yearly event with the aim of increasing the knowledge of diabetes research.
Junior and senior diabetes researchers give lectures on current research during the day. Talks are also given by the winners of the Leif C. Groop Award for Outstanding Diabetes Research, the Leif C. Groop Young Scientist Scholarship and the LUDC ECN student grant.
The event is aimed at anyone with an interest in diabetes research.
The LUDC Diabetes Research Day is arranged by the LUDC Early Career Network (LUDC ECN), a network of young diabetes researchers at Lund University Diabetes Centre (LUDC).
The talks will be followed by a dinner at CRC at 18.00. Register for the event by sending an email to Ulrika Blom-Nilsson by February 5.
Please indicate if you would like to have a lunch sandwich, if you will participate in the dinner and whether you have any dietary requirements.
Please note that there will be a no-show fee of SEK 500 if registration has been made for dinner and not been cancelled.
