​Welcome to the very first Astria Research Day!

​We're excited to invite our partners, colleagues, and friends to join us for a half-day event focused on the research topics that we are collectively advancing.

​We will kick off at 1PM with a brief welcome. Check-in will start at 12:50 PM, so please arrive on time to ensure you can participate for the full event.
