The day will showcase UCL’s world-class bioscience and biotechnology research, and forms part of UCL’s Strategic Partnership with BBSRC.
You are invited to attend the opening BBSRC talk, which will be a great opportunity to hear from Professor Welham on the future of UK bioscience funding and engage in interactive discussion with BBSRC staff. This will be followed by some short talks from BBSRC-funded academics to demonstrate the breadth and quality of research at UCL. We will round up the session with a talk from Professor Geraint Thomas, Director of the BBSRC funded London Interdisciplinary Doctoral Programme.
