YSS chairs
Beata Vektoraite (ETH Zurich)
Laura received her Bachelor's degree in Biology and a subsequent Master's degree in Molecular Cell Biology and Immunology at the Eberhard Karls University in Tübingen (Germany). Driven by her interest in the field of tumor immunology, she joined the research group of Dr. Michal Bassani-Sternberg at the Agora Research Center in Lausanne (Switzerland) as a PhD student in 2023, working on the antigen discovery in tumors post immune checkpoint blockade therapy. Furthermore, she is the event manager in the Bioscience Network Lausanne (BSNL) since 2024, which inspired her to actively participate and organize scientific events. In her free time, she likes to explore Switzerland, meet friends and read.
Daniel Kurpan (Agroscope)
Charlotte Sutter is a PhD student at the Zurich Institute of Forensic Medicine at the University of Zurich. She previously studied Molecular Medicine at the Medical University of Innsbruck in Austria, where she first discovered her passion for forensic genetics. In Zurich, she is now in her final year of PhD and focuses on epigenetic applications for forensic genetics. She is particularly interested in how to estimate the chronological age of a person from a small biological trace such as blood or saliva. She is very excited for this opportunity to act as a session chair at the LS2 Annual Meeting and help young scientists spread their research and connect with each other. Outside of her PhD, Charlotte spends most of her free time doing music.
Simon Galkin (ETH Zurich)
Simon is a PhD student in Gerhard Schratt's Lab at ETH Zurich who is passionate about neuroscience and molecular biology. As the chair of the Satellite event, he looks forward to welcoming everyone and helping people connect.
