2nd FISEV Seminar on February 6, 2023 at UEF Kuopio and also hybrid. Abstract deadline on 25 January! More details on Meetings page.
The Developmental Interactions Research Group at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Helsinki, is recruiting a doctoral researcher (PhD / postgraduate student) with life science background and a postdoctoral researcher with metabolomics expertise. These positions are for an Academy of Finland research project studying the impacts of maternal microbial metabolites and extracellular vesicles on the fetal immune system development. Deadline soon!
