RESEARCH DAY

The 15th edition

On June 13th, 2023, the whole community gathered in the Adolphe Franceschetti auditorium at the Centre Médical Universitaire (CMU) in Geneva for an overview of ongoing projects using the MRI infrastructures at Fondation Campus Biotech Geneva (FCBG), Brain Behavior Laboratory (BBL) and Center for Biomedical Imaging (CIBM).

The event was followed by the farewell ceremony of Prof. Francois Lazeyras, academic member of the FCBG MRI platform Advisory Committee.
