Thank you to all the speakers, participants, supporters, and organizers who made the 27th EMBL PhD Symposium a success!

Our theme, “Shaping Tomorrow,” inspired bold thinking on innovation, ethics, and society.

Excited to see you all at the 28th EMBL PhD Symposium next year!

Fumio Nakaki, from the Sharpe Group at EMBL Barcelona, has quantified the risk of stealth multiplets in multiplexed conditions, highlighting when and how these artefacts can still sneak into your data.
