PRiME-ETH Zurich Joint Symposium - September 27, 2021

PRiME is hosting the third installment of the Connaught Global Challenge Series introducing our partnership with ETH Zurich. This event will feature investigators from both PRiME and ETH Zurich who are working at the forefront of disease-in-a-dish/on-a-chip models and engineering molecular structure for imaging.

More information, and full agenda can be found here.
