“Talents to Tartu!” Program Kicks Off with Bright New Minds
This autumn, the “Talents to Tartu!” program launched once again, bringing together gifted first-year students from across Estonia. Out of 68 selected participants, 44 chose the science track, and we’re excited to welcome eight of them into our research group!
The students are now contributing to two cutting-edge projects:
1) “Testing the effects of drugs on genetic mutations of the dopamine D3 receptor.”
Supervised by Anni Allikalt
2) “Determination of dopamine and serotonin using a novel receptor-based biosensor system.”
Supervised by Santa Veikšina and Prof. Ago Rinken
Through this program, we aim to nurture the academic and personal growth of these promising young researchers, offering them hands-on experience, mentorship, and a supportive scientific community.
