Picture of the month – July

July of 2024 was the last month of the Chaperon project and that is why the photo below is presented as the Picture of the Month.

We are very pleased that in spite of all kinds of restrictions and limitations implemented in the beginning of the project due to the COVID-19 pandemy, at this point we have successfully achieved all aims specified by Chaperon. We are very thankfull to the European Research Agency for the opportunity to gain not only significant amount of financial support but also human resources and expertise which was delivered thanks to this 5-year project into the Biomedical Centre.

We would like to thank to everyone, who supported our activities taking active part in our events and following our work. This support and collaboration has been a great source of inspiration for all of us. We hope to keep in touch through future events organised at our faculty.
