Journal Club

The Journal Club are held every Friday at 08:15 a.m. and are open to attendees. At each Journal Club recent papers focussed on experimental or clinical aspects of hypertension or cardiovascular diseases at large are presented by a PhD student and counter-discussed by another PhD student under the supervision of the Coordinator or another Faculty member.
