Danish Diabetes Academy (DDA) offers courses aimed at PhD students

DANEMO is the Danish research support center and communication platform with the mission to increase attention to the numerous opportunities at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) and the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) for career paths, funding, and scientific services such as core facilities, databases, instruments, and large-scale facilities. EMBO and EMBL opportunities are relevant to everyone in the Danish research communities within life sciences in both academia and industry, from undergraduates to senior scientists!

As of 1 May, Michael Woo will start as PhD Student in Kvitsiani Group. He will use probabilistic models to understand neural circuit mechanisms of decision making in mice. To achieve this goal Michael will use electrophysiological recordings of single units in freely behaving mice and optogenetic tools to perturb neural activity in combination with computational tools to build predictive models of behavior.

The planned relocation of a variety of academic activities as well as the joint Nat-Tech administrative centre to Kasernen i Aarhus will not take place. The plan is not financially viable.
