The Three Minute Thesis (3MT) is an international competition where PhD researchers worldwide are tasked with presenting their research in just three minutes, aiming to persuade a jury of their project's significance and their communication abilities. KU Leuven hosts the Belgian preliminary round to choose a representative for two international finals. Nicolas Heintz, a PhD researcher at our BioMed Research group, was selected for these preliminaries and achieved second place with his pitch, which is available for viewing below.
