The PeroxiClub is a unique platform aims to promote exposure of the peroxisome field with a focus on the new generation of scientists in this arena.
Frequency: Once every two months.
Location: No traveling required! All talks are given by Zoom. The talks are recorded and available online for a week.
Audience: Peroxisome community and peroxi fans. Whoever wants to join the party is welcome.
