Testimonials
I want to thank the amazing lecturers Marco and Katarina for everything that they have taught me in these 5 days, I will always remember this excellent experience!
Big shoutout to the teachers, Katarina and Marco. They did an amazing job with teaching us about bioinformatics, but also showing us study exchange programs which can apply to any career. They also made a great job with making us feel comfortable during the sessions, with breaks and jokes.
