Calling all Research Associates of the Faculty of Medical Sciences,
With the re-structuring of the faculty, and the creation of the Translational and Clinical Research Institute, Biosciences Institute, and Population and Health Sciences Institute we are looking for new recruits from all three institutes to join and play an active role in the FMS post-doc committee. Established in 2017, we are here to organise events, provide support and information, and represent post-doctoral researchers’ views to the faculty.
So, if you would like to help shape this evolving committee and help to support the post-docs in FMS (which will also look good on your CV!!) you are welcome to attend our next meeting on 11th February 2020 9:30am in the Medical school Atrium.
Here is the abstract book for the 2nd FMS postdoc symposium taking place tomorrow in the David Shaw lecture theatre, Medical School. It is shaping up to be a fantastic event showcasing the exciting and diverse range of research taking place in the faculty of medical sciences! We also have an excellent Keynote lecture which will be given by Prof. Ana María Cuervo and of course the winner of the best paper prize Dr. Martina Miotto! See you there!
The organising committee are delighted to present the 2019 Post Doctoral Symposium Programme, embedded below. Once again there was a vast range of high quality abstract submissions, and we’re pleased to bring you 12 very diverse talks from across the faculty!
In addition to our keynote speaker, Professor Ana Maria Cuervo from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the US, we will be joined by a guest speaker: Dr. Elizabeth Phimister, the deputy editor of the New England Journal of Medicine.
The winner of the best paper competition was Dr. Martina Miotto. As she had been selected to give a talk in a main session and instead will now deliver the longer prize talk, the first runner up from the competition, Dr. Anastasia Hepburn, will now give the first talk of the day.
The symposium takes place on Friday 21st June in and around the David Shaw Lecture Theatre.
