We held 2 workshops this year at the European Researcher’s Night 2022, a Europe-wide public event, which displays the diversity of science and its impact on citizens’ daily lives in fun, inspiring ways. This year, the event took place in 25 countries. 

Anna and Balázs held a workshop entitled Are you faster than a robot? where they highlighted the importance of qRT-PCR in diagnostics and in our research too. They also challenged the participants and let them pipette against our automated liquid handling pipetting robot using a 384-well.

Lea and Bendegúz talked about reprogramming techniques using iPS, organoids and induced neurons directly reprogrammed from adult human dermal fibroblasts. The participants learned about the challenges of capturing human ageing and the importance of studying physiological and pathophysiological ageing of the brain.
